Releasethewolves and Geoff And Jenny will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. OLIVERSHARE (1) resumes from a lengthy break. Heavily supported on debut when sixth over 1006m at this track last November. Scored a strong 1050m trial win at the Gold Coast and looks primed for this. HOMELAND (2) two runs back have been excellent and gets conditions to suit. Ran on late in the heavy (8) going when second over 1106m at this track. On the quick backup and can play a leading role again. GEOFF AND JENNY (12) fitter after two runs back and the tongue-tie goes on for this. Chipped away late when fifth over 1100m here at latest. Gets map favours and stays in the mix. RAINBOW LASS (6) beaten for early speed and never looked a winning prospect when a disappointing seventh over 1100m at this track. Assess on earlier efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Olivershare to win.
