Minimal can take up the running at a strong tempo. Genuine tempo with Minimal likely to find himself in front. MY NAME IS (4) led here third-up and was back to his best, comfortably winning a CL3. Has a 2kg claim this evening and just has to hold the form to go close. AKAKA FALLS (1) is a threat. Won a 70 easily here but has to carry 62kg today and that's a niggle. APOLLO TEN (9) has been flying in the country and the Gatton win was strong. Gets in well with the 2kg claim and maps for the run of the race. Has to be considered. BEAU WITNESS (5) has pieces of form good enough. He needed the first-up run in stronger and keeps the 2kg claim. He's won two from four 2/4 second-up and is worth consideration at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to My Name Is.
