Only a small field with Dundeel Flyer likely to find a comfortable lead. NAVY BUOY (3) resumed in good style and has been top four in all three starts to date. Despite a wide draw has plenty of appeal second up. KIKOIRA (1) was competitive in a city maiden on debut and two recent trials have been thereabouts efforts. With a gun draw profiles as a sharp improver. DUNDEEL FLYER (9) fought on well on debut as favourite and the extra trip holds no fears. Can improve further. SO YOU STAR (6) held his margin first up and is proven in anything wet. Out to a more suitable trip can’t discount. FRANKLY SUBLIME (5) has been close-up in all trials contested and senior rider goes on. Respect any market push that way over the stablemates. SUGGESTED PLAY: Navy Buoy win.

First-up 5th of 9 at Port Macquarie Mdn-Sw on March 29 over 1210m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Kobaytera carrying 58.5kg at $16.
