Strong pace with Fast Da, Whomsonever and Ambassadors paving the way. WHOMSONEVER (8) fought on gamely fresh up on this course when finishing third and then stuck to her task for sixth at Warwick 15 days ago when looking for more ground. Ryan Wiggins picks up the ride, and with an extra furlong on offer, she can take this out. CAPITAL BOSS (2) rattled home from well back when finishing runner-up here 3 weeks ago over this trip. He cops another wide gate and is likely to be hitting the line late again. Each way. AS EXPECTED (4) sat outside the pace at Warwick last start and was too strong after hitting the front a long way from home. He is up 2kg in weight but gets another chance to prove himself on a poly track here. Go again. AMBASSADORS (1) finished third as favourite in his first start for a new trainer after making the move from NSW in March. He will be better for the run and will pick up his next win at short notice. QUEST OF QUESTS (3) clung on for a tough win by a nose at Warwick just over a fortnight ago and will be even sharper third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Capital Boss each way.
