No Statement, Blue Grotto and Rahni Factor to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. POKERJACK (10) hasn't been too far away at his last couple, including a 1.6 length fourth to the smart Fleetwood over this distance at Warwick Farm two back. The wide gate is a small concern but his best form stacks up nicely in this company. CHIEF CONDUCTOR (5) caught the eye when resuming over 1000m at Randwick last time out, coming from last and quickening well in the heavy conditions to finish fifth. Has a good second-up record and this is his pet trip. Ticks plenty of boxes. RAHNI FACTOR (11) returned from an 11-month break with a closing second in an open sprint at Kempsey a fortnight ago. Honest mare with each-way claims. Victorian visitor DIRECT (1) wasn't far behind the in-form Mrs Chrissie at Sandown last time when coming off a seven-week break. Definite contender. OCEANS ONE (8) has placed 2/2 at this course and distance and will be nearing peak fitness third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pokerjack each-way in a challenging race for punters.
