A few on-pacers lining up so it should be keenly contested. CANADA BAY (3) lost form in NSW earlier in the year and was sent to local trainer Tommy Logan who produced her to win here fresh up by over 3 lengths. She won't find this much harder and with the benefit of the pole position, he can win again. RAFFALLI (1) produced a solid effort for third fresh up in this grade just over 3 weeks ago and usually improves with racing. He is well placed from a handy draw and should make his presence felt again. STARS THE LIMIT (8) did not help himself by making a slow start last time out. His effort for second when resuming is a better guide and with a safe beginning this time, he can bounce straight back into the money. Each-way. PATRIOTIC KING (2) is racing his way back into winning form and tried hard when runner-up last start. Jarrod Todd sticks with him and so do we. EXCEEDINGLY MAGIC (6) is resuming from a spell after a couple of good runs last spring, including a win fresh up. She is nicely weighted after a claim and can take this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Canada Bay to win.
