Krackacan should lead at a slick tempo.
HOT COCOA (6) resumed in fine fashion with a dominant victory here and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Gets in well at the weights with the 2kg claim and can make it back-to-back wins to start the campaign. SHE'S A SWEET STAR (4) hasn't done much wrong this preparation with a win and two seconds from three outings and should get a cosy run in transit from gate three. Will prove tough to hold out. INSTA WORTHY (3) strips fitter third-up from the break and is usually thereabouts. In the mix. KRACKACAN (1) doesn't know how to run a bad race and gets the services of gun hoop Wiggins in the saddle. Don't discount lightly. MISTER DOOBEE (2) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,4,3,1.
