Strong early tempo assured from Fine Touch and Corn Cob leading the way over Pompey. CAPTAIN PLUTO (2) was a huge winner on this track fresh up and in 3 starts since then he has only been beaten narrowly, including his last start here a fortnight ago as favourite when a neck back from the winner. He is the one to beat again. POMPEY (1) is a quality stablemate of the top pick who resumed with a fair effort over 1200m on this track 2 weeks ago. He has won 2 of his 3 starts second up in the past and will relish the step up to a mile. He is down in grade and even with the top weight, he can get the job done here. FINE TOUCH (6) probably found 2100m a touch too far here last start and her record over a mile is much better. She is nicely placed with 55kg on her back and she is poised to bounce back into some worthwhile form again. Each way. CORN COB (5) has been mixing his form for some time and has not lived up to his earlier promise. He is getting down in the weights now and is more than capable of figuring in the finish if he is in the right mood. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain Pluto to win.
