Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Wolfoffitroystreet. DRECK (2) has not been far away of late including last start when second over 1200m at Hamilton. The longer journey should suit so expecting him to be in the finish from the favourable draw. WOLFOFFITROYSTREET (6) is back after a break of six months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1800m at Horsham. Has run well at metro level previously and only needs to return to that form to be a major player. JUSTIBELLA (9) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1300m at Bendigo, finishing 6 lengths back in seventh. This is more to her liking. CEYLON DIAMOND (7) is on debut at 1400m but had a couple of trials at 1000m, finishing second at the latest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dreck to win.
