From the wide draw Meka Vibe can cross and set the tempo in a race without genuine pace. MEKA VIBE (8) finds the maiden win elusive but it certainly hasn't been without trying, only beaten a lip two back at Echuca. Has a sticky draw to overcome but looks to have a slight class edge. Ready. FIRST ASSAULT (1) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at Nowra in testing conditions. Can improve sharply and is worth following up. MY MATE ELVIS (11) only warmed late at Wagga last start after turning at the tail of the field. Is drawn to take closer order this time and the extra 100m suits. INFINITE GAME (3) is yet to get going but will find this a bit easier and should appreciate stepping out the extra 200m. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Meka Vibe gets the nod.
