Tactical given the lack of speed. CALLENEM THRU (8) was very impressive here on debut a fortnight ago, picking up her rivals and running away to win impressively. Not sure what she beat there, but she did it well enough to suggest she can go on with the job. Drawn well and can go back-to-back. HERE COMES HOGAN (1) went back to the trials after his fresh run at Nowra and now gets the blinkers on. Worth including. MAGIC FOREST (4) can feature first-up for the new stable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Callenem Thru can win again.
