In the small field Strathcona or Go Getaboy should find the front. Competitive. GO GETABOY (1) threatened twice at Townsville but disappointed here last time. He draws inside today and will get every chance to run out the 1400m. Wiggins sticking in the saddle is a positive. HERNE HILL (6) brings a string of wins, and the last two stack right up. He's capable of winning again. STRATHCONA (4) lost his rider but bounced straight back, winning a 72 at Townsville. Has plenty of weight relief and comes back 209m freshened. Has claims. GULF OF LION (2) is on the improve again and the speedy galloper will be in it for a long way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Go Getaboy.
