Keen battle for the lead with Spice Is Right, Schuhbeck and Private Sapling in advance of Rulesque and Double Rush. PRIVATE SAPLING (4) got back to winning ways last start with an impressive performance here, sitting on the speed and running away as favourite. He does rise in weight, but he maps for a similar run in the same grade and he'll take catching with Nettle's claim. SPICE IS RIGHT (2) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, though they have been in tougher company than he meets today. His racing pattern should suit the dirt course here and if he can bring his form up north, he'll be right in the mix. RULESQUE (5) booted up from the inside draw to race on the speed only to be claimed late and finish in sixth last start over 1453m at this track. Well placed and expected to feature. CLOSE TALKER (1) was having her initial outing for the Jody Mc Laughlin yard and also tackling a dirt track for the first time last start when third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Hard to knock latest effort. Worth plenty of thought again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Private Sapling can win again.
