Nothing to run them along so the pace looks even at best. ARAPAWA (2) handy gelding who rounded them up effortlessly second-up over the 1000m here in fast time. Proven at the trip and will be hard to stop despite the rise in weight. Go close. SMART BUY (1) resumes after making sharp improvement last time in. Total forgive from the wide gate when she never got into the contest to run last over 1500m at Rosehill in C2 company. Back with the one trial and has the class to put these away. DUNSTALL THE GUN (3) deep into the campaign and indicated another win was imminent with a fast finishing second over 1200m at Tamworth. Look for savaging the line. GHAZNAVI (7) has struggled of late and kept fresh for this. Kept up to the mark with a 1000m tick over trial here on April 22. Goes into the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arapawa and Smart Buy shape as the two leading players.
