A solid tempo on the cards with Speedy Henry heading them off. MISS CAPITALE (13) handy filly who was a big drifter in betting on debut when a sharp winner over 1106m at Port Macquarie. Kept up to the mark with a recent Warwick Farm trial. Can get the job done again in this stronger contest. COSMIC TREASURE (11) failed to get through the heavy conditions when seventh over 1300m at Beaumont (Newcastle) on March 24. Improving surface can see her bounce back. NAVY STEEL (7) recorded his first win on resumption in the rain affected going over 1000m at Wellington. Poorly drawn for this and Braith Nock retains the ride. Place best. SPEEDY HENRY (9) resumes after giving them a galloping lesson on debut when leading throughout over 1000m at Dubbo last December. Fitted with the one 900m trial and stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Capitale to go close again.
