La Raza is the likely leader at a keen tempo. LA RAZA (2) goes wet and dry and seeks the hat trick off a 5.3L win here first-up in an Open 3. Carries more weight, offset some by a 3kg claim, but the promising galloper should be winning again regardless. REIGNING ALPHA (4) was well supported last start but didn't get into it. His near miss on a good track at Warwick three back reads well, and he can get back to that form. BROOKLYN DAISY (7) went much better, finding a place here. May sit closer today, and will be around the mark. ZHENG YOU (5) was outgraded at the Gold Coast, but his big heavily-backed Gatton prior hinted at better things to come. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing La Raza to win.
