In A Step should lead and set an even tempo. AKAKA FALLS (1) is flying this prep, making it 2/2 for the campaign when he defied all challengers in open company over this distance at Orange last start. That appearance followed a seven-week let-up so he can improve off the run. The one to beat again. BOOMSONG (7) is first-up since August. Opened the last campaign with a gutsy win over this trip at Hawkesbury. Enjoys the going so plenty to like about his chances. STARS AND BARS (6) has been freshened up since retiring from a race at Wyong on 30 March. Subsequent trial winner with each-way claims. SMOKESHOW (5) finished 0.7 lengths behind Akaka Falls at Orange last time. Ready to peak third-up. RINGAROSA (2) has won two and placed once in four first-up runs, so she comes right under notice fresh from a 130-day break. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Akaka Falls to complete the hat-trick.
