Salika Diva and Inner Spirit to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. AOLANI (4) was expected to win at Bowen first up but things didn't work out from a wide gate. Finds easier and will be a lot sharper second-up. Draws awkwardly again but with average luck will take beating. ROCKY BLONDE (10) peaks and improved again beaten 2L at Rockhampton in stronger. Maps for a soft run and is a chance to bounce. CALM IS POWER (6) found more like his best narrowly beaten at Home Hill. The gate is awkward but he peaks and is ready to win. HIT SNOOZE (2) resumes and will be a chance if presented more forward this time around. Butler's booking suggests she will be and she draws to advantage. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Aolani.
