Pace looks strong with April's Dance pressing on from an outside draw, joining Specialized. KAKIA (1) made some good progress last season and would have matured over his spell. He resumes from a spell with a couple of trials under his belt. Having the blinkers on for the first time fresh-up is a positive move and with David Pires in the saddle, he is the one to beat. STRATOJACK (3) has been freshened up since failing to fire in a couple of starts this season and is looking for a decent track. He has a good draw and can't be ignored, especially if the track is firm. Watch the markets closely. SPECIALIZED (8) showed a lot of promise as a juvenile on the Devonport poly track near the end of her initial prep and has looked in good nick at the trials on the turf at Longford. A good draw helps and she has enough pace to take them all of the way fresh up. DIOS (2) franked a recent trial win with a brave effort for second fresh-up at Launceston, finishing second by half-a-length. She strips fitter and benefits from a 3kg claim this time. Goes close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kakia to win.
