Strong pace with Salika Diva pushing forward along with Bakersfield from an outside gate. Competitive. CELEBRATION (4) resumes and the former Victorian is up to this if presented forward. She deserved the Maiden win at Mildura two back and has placed fresh. Maps well and the betting will be key. PARA PARK CHANCE (6) is speedy and brings a Home Hill win and a Mackay near miss, to the table. He was heavily bet last time and Huxtable sticks aboard. He can bounce with average luck. KING RUPERT (1) has switched from a NSW barn on a 49-day return. He wasn't beaten far at Tuncurry last time and can use the rail. BAKERSFIELD (2) disappointed off a wide gate last time heavily bet. The form was good leading into that and Wiggins' is a key jockey switch. Draws out again and needs some luck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Having something on Celebration each way.
