|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo with Bunker Hill, Hurricane Hartley and Final Applause leading the way. FINAL APPLAUSE (4) resumes for a new trainer after showing talent at the trials prior to have a couple of starts for some modest results. He will be stronger now, and will be fresh up without any public trials. The booking of Craig Grylls is a strong lead, and any market support should be followed in. COMPULSORY (1) has been a long time maiden and he is resuming from a spell following a 3 start campaign earlier in the season. He has the pole position, and is worth including in all top 4 combos in this field. REFRACTION (7) makes her debut with one public trial under her belt. She has a good draw, and is meeting the right sort of field. Follow any market moves. BETTIE DAVIS (9) was close up in her only public trial, and she makes her debut with a handy weight of 53.5kg to carry. Watch closely. FAST NET (6) will be resuming from a short spell in a modest field. Include in all top 4 combos to be safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Final Applause to win.
