Genuine tempo with Hit Squad leading the way. HIT SQUAD (3) is an imported maiden galloper who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1408m at Kempton Park All Weather six-and-a-half months ago. Second at the only other start and has trialled well enough to suggest he can make a winning Aussie debut. TENNESSEETWOPIECE (8) did little and finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1607m at Stawell last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth on debut at Bendigo the run before. Go off that run. CREUSA (11) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Pakenham over 1600m, beaten 4 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. DEMPSEY (2) got into the top four for the first time in his career last start, albeit beaten a long way, but blinkers go on here and he draws to advantage. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hit Squad to win.
