Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.69)  

Roundle Park and Ice Crystal should set a strong clip. ROUNDLE PARK (3) is a progressive type who looks well placed to find some winning form. Most of his limited starts so far have been on the synthetic but his only try on turf was here two back and just missed. Has the pace to be prominent and expected to go close. THE PIRATE QUEEN (7) is going much better than form suggests. Finished 10th here last time but only a couple of lengths from the winner and best form stacks right up. Can improve sharply. LAST TREMBLE (6) wasn't far away last time and should be near his top now. Has a nice weight and should be winding up strongly. GEEGEES DOWNPOUR (2) was close-up when sixth fresh here and will come on from that. Expected to be charging late. OBVIOUSLY GOOD (4) is fitter for one run in and draws for a soft run. Can improve this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Roundle Park.
