Strong tempo to be established by Wicklow Lass, Nolan and Snitzaroo. NOLAN (4) is a former Victorian who resumed with a 1L defeat at this track/trip. He has plenty up his sleeve and Butler stays aboard. He's been kept on the fresh side and is sure to have come on. CHARTWELL (7) resumes and has switched from a top Sydney stable. May find this a touch short but he's won fresh and Stanley's booking suggests he's pleasing. The rails gate is there to use. HARROW (2) resumes and he missed a whisker here before the break over 1400m. Has an outside barrier but Wiggins is reunited and that helps. Races over a short sprint for the first time and that's a niggle. WICKLOW LASS (6) is racing well and has been briefly freshened. She's sure to be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nolan has the form and fitness.
