El Ultimo and Sway Up look to bowl along in front. SWAY UP (2) has been close up in his last couple of starts and will have the winkers on to help where it matters most. He is suited by the trip, and can go one better. TAKE ON (11) is having his first start on a poly track and has been battling lately. Scott Macnab is a top amateur hoop, and Kevin Myers loves to win these races, so don't rule him out of a top 3 finish. ANALYST (3) flipped around some average form with an easy win here nearly 2 weeks ago. That victory was not totally unexpected, and his lead-up work at home must have been improving. Stick with him. JING JING (9) has shown signs of improvement lately and ran on stoutly along the inner here last time out. Each way value with the right sort of run. WAL (5) had no hope from a wide gate in a tougher grade here last start and can make amends in this. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Take On is a big chance to take this out.
