Hazey Hill should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest.
It's hard to knock the form of BRAIN WAVE (7) who has strung three wins together on the bounce and is racing high on confidence of late. Hoop Thompson has been in the saddle for all three victories and sticks today. Big chance to continue the picket fence. The well-related MISHANI WITNESS (2) (half to Listed winner and G2 placed Mishani Hustler) has placed two from two around this circuit and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Expected to go close on best figures. DREAM THINKER (5) strips fitter second-up from the break and will appreciate the step-up in journey now. Top-three aspirations. HAZEY HILL (3) placed over this course and distance last time out and has since been given a bit of a freshen up. Can find the winners' circle. CHAYSE 'N' ARTIE (1) next best with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brain Wave to continue the rich vein of form.
