Plenty of pace with Free Carry and Jonny Da Wolf leading from Calico Jack. JONNY DA WOLF (11) has a handy record over this seven-furlong journey with two wins and four placings from seven attempts and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Shapes as a key contender. CASPERNOVA (5) goes well here on his home circuit with two wins and two seconds from just five outings. Among the winning hopes on best form. FREE CARRY (7) returns from a lay-off. Looking very sharp in training including a win his most recent trial at Doomben. Opened last campaign with a win at Ipswich over 1350m. In the mix with the 1.5kg claim. SULTRY SIREN (10) scored two starts ago then last time out found a couple better over 1350m at Doomben. Should give this a shake. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 11,5,7,10.
