Our Nemesis, Uni Queen and Chantel to take up the running at a decent tempo. OUR NEMESIS (2) comes here off two zeroes but they were in stronger company than what he faces today. He returns to this track and trip where he's unbeaten and Faithfull takes the ride having never missed the placings when on board. Can return to form in a big way. HENRY THE AVIATOR (4) finished off nicely from midfield to miss out by 0.7L over the mile here last start. The inside draw today can see him sit handy again and he is a winner at this track and trip previously. Riordan's claim means he carries no weight and a forward showing is expected. UNI QUEEN (8) led and won over the 1600m journey here last time out and that form has already been franked. Back in trip slightly won't be an issue and she draws the inside again today. Can go back-to-back. HEAD'EM (3) is hard to knock on his recent form and has claims if he can stretch to 1500m now. ANNIHILATOR (5) won't be far away if he can run up to his latest effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Nemesis looks the one.
