Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. REVANTAS (5) was also a runner-up at this track last start, and gets a big opportunity to break through again now. BALERION DRIVE (6) is a first starter which might just blow them all away. Won a trial comfortably and must be kept safe in this modest field. DECORATIVE (13) resumes. Has been given time to mature since her maiden prep where she did show a glimpse of her promise in a Gatton trial. SPIRIT SEEKER (12) is a ten start maiden however has been thereabouts on a number of occasions. BETTER THAN PRESLEY (1) resumes. Has been given time to mature since his maiden campaign. Could add value to First Fours. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very difficult race, so let's throw 5,6,13,12 into a boxed trifecta.
