Genuine tempo with Mean As leading the way. KOKATAHI (4) handy gelding who was a total forgive at his second run back when striking interference in the straight and pulling up with a slow recovery rate to finish sixth over 1400m at Warwick Farm. Caught the eye first-up and has a key jockey change for this. Genuine top-three player. FIERCE CRITIC (9) bounced off her eye-catching debut fifth, with a tenacious third over 1400m at Canberra. Maps well and the booking of Zac Lloyd is a big positive. Expected to handle the rise in class. INDIGO STAR (2) was slow into stride and then circled the field under hard riding before battling to the line with an average fourth over 1400m at Warwick Farm in a Super Mdn. Hard fit for this and capable of better. DERRY CITY FELIX (1) gritty performance on debut in the soft (7) going with a plugging second over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Since fitted with a 789m tick-over trial and looking for the extra ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kokatahi looks the pick of the Waller team.
