Expecting Dale's Rocket to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. LASTAR (4) bounced back sharply at the latest when beaten a lip at Naracoorte. Gets weight off with the slight rise in grade and is drawn softly. Bold showing is anticipated. QUIK RHAPID (3) held favouritism fresh off the back of a smart trial win but was too bad to be true. Was coming off a long break and is sure to have taken improvement. Can turn things around. Similar story for DALE'S ROCKET (1) who was only sound when returning. Is capable of a much better showing with that run under the belt. DETNAW (2) returns and holds a solid fresh record. Has only missed the frame once over this track and trip from five attempts. Have to include from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lastar to win.
