Moderate tempo expected with Unleash likely to find the front over Naughty Words and Cracker Essgee. Brilliant race with plenty of in-form horses. KATDEEL (4) powered home from towards the rear at Rockhampton last time, winning his second race in a row. Will take plenty of beating again today. THE DEPUTY (3) is another one on a hat-trick having won by a nose here most recently. No reason to jump off. NAUGHTY WORDS (8) won by a head resuming in easier grade than this and is expected to improve again today. Keep safe once more. SKYWOLF (1) drops back in grade today and must be respected. 3kg claim offsets the big weight. CRACKER ESSGEE (7) placed last start at this course. Holds some each way appeal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very tricky, but Katdeel might just edge this one.
