Moderate pace with Hodgson taking up the running ahead of Shows A Sign and Smiling Zac. SHOWS A SIGN (5) finds easier company and this shapes up as a winnable assignment. He has been kept on the fresh side and is likely to race forward. Won here four back by 6.3L. CELESTIAL HARBOUR (6) resumes and is proven fresh. She's trialled well and has the inside barrier and handy 2kg claim. A winning hope. HODGSON (1) was outgraded at the Gold Coast but the form prior stacks up. He's been freshened and will get every chance with Stanley aboard. SMILING ZAC (3) resumes in much easier with a 3kg claim. Usually needs one but has to be kept onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Shows A Sign.
