Fast pace with Rideau showing out and Gigi Fille crossing to apply some pressure. RIDEAU (4) battled away for sixth after having a tough run on the Sunshine Coast poly track last start and may prefer the turf surface for now. He won his only start on this track and welcomes the in-form Justin Huxtable back to the saddle. If he can make a better beginning this time, he will be hard to hold out. OUR TURN NOW (3) should have finished closer to the winner when resuming from a spell but was held up at a vital stage. The extra furlong will help, and having Ryan Wiggins replace an apprentice will also be a plus. Stick with him. NEW LEVEL (2) has not quite reached the mark in 4 starts this prep, including a couple of starts for new trainer Glenda Bell. He has a senior hoop back in the saddle and is worth one more chance. LATIN LOVE (10) has continued to improve with racing and made it 2 wins on the bounce here nearly 4 weeks ago, scoring by a neck. The hat-trick beckons. JUPITUS (1) was a beaten favourite in his first start from the local Ricky Vale stable. Go again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Turn Now each-way.
