Nerano to take charge ahead of Galway Hussler at a solid tempo.
NEVER GIVE UP (3) made it 2 wins from 3 starts on this track when scoring easily in his penultimate start. He was less than a length from the winner as favourite when finishing fourth at Dalby 2 weeks ago. He slides back down in class, and will be hard to hold out. PICKO ROCKS (1) did not recover from a slow start here when resuming from a spell. He is much better than that and is expected to improve sharply with that run under his belt. Senior hoop Corey Bayliss will take over from an apprentice, and he is worth including in all combinations. NERANO (2) showed some early pace before fading out of it in the run home when resuming from a spell on this track nearly a fortnight ago. He wants more ground but is still fresh enough to run into a top3 placing here. CELESTIAL HARBOUR (5) made the most of a good ride when scoring comfortably here last week over this trip. He won't find this much harder, and can repeat the dose. GALWAY HUSSLER (7) was a last-start winner. Go again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Never Give Up to win.
