A solid tempo on the cards with Jonny Da Wolf heading them off. JONNY DA WOLF (1) resumes for a metro stable and is right up to this if presented forward. The easy trial win at Doomben suggests he will be and Huxtable sticks aboard from that. ARALETTA (7) resumed in a 70 at Doomben well supported and looked a run short. She will push forward and flies second-up. She also has claims. WAHINE GALAXY (8) is capable but has been off the scene for a year. She's trialled well but it's an ask. Include in wider plays. VOCALS (9) knuckled down strongly when finished 0.7 lengths from the winner here. One for consideration. SELOUS (5) could run a bold race fresh from a spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jonny Da Wolf appeals.
