Expecting Helluva Teen to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. CRAVING MAGIC (2) disappointed prior to the break but was in good order prior, winning a Federal here just two starts back. His trial after the last here last week was very impressive and this looks to shape favourably from a good draw. Can sit handy and make a statement on his return. LOVE SHUCK (1) won the Prelude before a bold effort in the Wagga Town Plate, beaten 0.8L when leading the field. He carries the top weight here, but deservedly so and he has the speed to roll across from out wide. Will take some catching if he can hold his form. SUTTON VELLA (4) wasn't far away here last week in a good Federal over shorter. Now up in trip with Cahill on, she can put herself in the finish yet again. PLEASURIZE (5) gets McDougall on board now replacing the apprentice and a forward showing is expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Craving Magic looks the one to beat.
