Moderate tempo with Mystery Flyer leading the way. AIR COMMAND (1) finished fourth when resuming at Fannie Bay then improved when a close second over 1200m at Fannie Bay last start. Having his first run on dirt today. Reaches his peak and will be tough to beat. LAYLAH'S WISH (7) returns from a spell of six months and has her first try on a dirt track. Opened last campaign with a seventh over 1000m at Sunshine Coast. Bold showing expected with the blinkers added. READY OR BUST (4) tackles a dirt track for the first time today on the back of a close fourth when resuming over 1300m at Fannie Bay, beaten just 1.75 lengths. Will strip much fitter and is among the main hopes. HENESTROSA (3) is racing on a dirt track for the first time today. Has missed the frame at both runs this time in, the latest when 35 lengths away in 11th at Fannie Bay over 1100m. Ready to hit his straps and is one of the genuine hopes in the race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Air Command to win.
