Plenty of early pace with Primal Spirit and Unique Bambino battling for the lead but there will be pressure from a few other on-pacers. NAUGHTY BENNIE (8) on top. He won well on debut at Moe, overcoming traffic issues to win with a sharp turn of foot, before another excellent effort at Cranbourne when held up and flashing late behind Judicial. Should get clear running here on the big track and looks nicely placed. STREET ELITE (3) is racing well without winning, placing in his past four. Tried hard at Flemington last start which reads well and a repeat of that has him right in the finish. ARIZONA ACTIVIST (2) won comfortably fresh in easier company, measuring up well over this route last time in a BM70. Back a notch here and looks well-placed. PRIMAL SPIRIT (9) resumes for a new stable. He's mixed his form but has ability on his day and could show up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Naughty Bennie to win.
