Dirty Chai to take charge ahead of Royal Gap at a strong tempo.
DIRTY CHAI (5) had a stable switch and returned from a brief spell with a devastating 7.3 lengths win over this distance at Dongara last start. Likely to improve off that run so from a good gate under just 1kg more she can win again. IRONCLAD BOY (6) returned to form last time out, charging home late to just miss out over 1113m at this track. Nicely placed over this slightly longer journey and from gate one will give the top pick plenty to think about. ENTICING (7) returned from a forty-five-day break with an eye-catching second here at this trip recently. Veteran who should give a good account again. UNDERCOVER SNIPER (4) is up in grade but did well enough last start at Dongara to suggest he will be competitive. ROYAL GAP (2) is a top four hope first-up from a five-month spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dirty Chai to win again.
