They look to roll along early with All In Vain and Captains Choice leading the charge. SOLDIER BOI (1) gets a change of surface after tackling stronger company at Flemington, where he was never a factor over 2000m on a heavy track. He will find this much easier, and he gets a big chance to bounce back into the top 3. VIVID BLOOMS (8) failed to fire at Mildura last start but had been in winning form at Kyneton prior to that effort. She has a superior draw this time, and she is capable of figuring in the top 3, so stick with her. TRADEWORX (7) returned to his best with a dominant victory at Wodonga, putting a handy margin on his rivals over a similar trip. He is normally much better on the poly surface here, and he can repeat the dose. GRUNNETTAN (9) is struggling to find his best, and gets another chance over a middle distance for the first time this year. John Allen picks up the ride, and he is not the worst here at Bolter's odds. THREE REEL ROSES (10) caught the eye with a sound late effort at Donald 12 days ago, and she can run into the top 4 here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Soldier Boi can take this out.
