Moderate tempo with Alpha Street leading the way and a few others keeping in touch.
EXCEEDINGLY MAGIC (4) resumes from a spell and usually comes to hand quickly. She might need some luck early on from a wide gate, but at this level, she will be among the hardest to hold out in another very even contest. CAPTAIN GEORGE (1) will be peaking third up after his last start minor placing here 2 weeks ago from a wide gate. He has a Superior draw this time, and even though there is a query over the drop to 1000m, he can still take this out. ALPHA STREET (2) won his penultimate start here over 1000m by leading all the way. He then just battled as favourite over 1200m 2 weeks ago, and will be suited by dropping back again in trip. Stick with him. CARAT TIME (3) did well in his last campaign on this track and will be resuming from a spell that would have done him the world of good. A wide gate is no help, but he is worth including in all multiples to be safe. BOOMERCONI (11) has yet to show his best in this State, but does have the ability and could be pop up at a big price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain George each way.
