Solid tempo with I'm Nipote possessing the dash to work to the lead. ROCKET JUICE (1) has been going around in much stronger races than this throughout his career and finds himself relatively well in. The claim of Campbell comes in handy and he should be prominent from the outset. Can return to winning ways in what looks a suitable race. CLASSIC RULER (2) won narrowly over 1214m at Bunbury a fortnight ago and should appreciate the slight rise in trip. He's likely to be a long way back in the run, but if they overdo it up front he's sure to be storming home late in the race. CHOIXWAY (5) was good in a recent trial after ending his last campaign as a beaten favourite at Ascot. Draws to get every chance today and his best form is good enough to get the job done. CRIMMO (6) is never far away and is sure to put his best foot forward once again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Rocket Juice to win.
