Arrabbiata has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. FLYING CELICA (7) raced just off the pace and was presented at the right time but failed to pick up the placegetters last start in a decent performance over a similar trip to this at Toowoomba. Mile specialist who will find this a little easier. Sure to give a great sight. VISUALISE (2) started favourite and thrashed a Class 1 field over this distance at Tamworth last time out. Doesn't win out of turn but that latest effort was pleasing to the eye. Big chance to go back-to-back. DOITLIKEMAXWELL (6) was poorly away and went back to last before unleashing a huge finish to get up for third at his latest appearance over 1350m at Warwick. That has been the pattern at his last couple of runs so getting out to today's journey looks the right move. ARRABBIATA (3) led and fought hard before finding one better at the end of 1400m at Tamworth recently. Should be prominent for a long way. RING AHOY (1) mixes his form but is back in grade and capable of winning. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flying Celica to win.
