Nation's Call to take charge ahead of Lady Adelaide at a solid tempo. AWASH (2) comes here third-up and ready to fire. He made good improvement second-up at Cranbourne in a small field in this grade when beaten half a length. He's got the ratings necessary to take this out and if Gaudray can slot him in behind the speed he should go close. NATION'S CALL (1) is a handy horse with a good record, coming off an easy win at very short odds at Pakenham over a subsequent winner. Rates highly and will take beating. STAR VEGA (3) was okay first up in a bunched finish when unable to threaten but will be much fitter and the rise in trip suits. RUN NAAN (6) has won his past two and must have a case. OVERACTIVE (4) was okay at his Australian debut and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Awash to win.
