Onmalone has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. ONMALONE (4) showed early speed when resuming at Newcastle before tiring late into midfield. Strips fitter and with Clark sticking, he should be prominent for a long way. IN AND OUT (2) has improved with each run this prep and should be ready to peak third-up. Wide draw means he may get back, but expect him to be charging late. COOL DRINKS (8) resumes after an encouraging debut in a strong maiden and has been prepared with two solid trials. Key booking of Lloyd adds confidence and he’s capable of making a big impact fresh. PHOENIX LEGEND (3) was only fair when resuming here off a long break. May need another run but draws well and is one to keep in mind. SUGGESTED PLAY: Onmalone gets the nod.
