Strong tempo expected with Mr Encore, Ruby Chicks and Clover's Prince prominent. ENTERPRISE LUCIA (2) grows a leg for hoop Collis who has three wins and a placing from just five steers and is drawn to get a gun run in transit from gate two. Is yet to miss a drum in three attempts over this track and trip and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. KING YOSHI (8) is a three-time winner over this course and distance and has been racing very consistently of late. Cannot be left out of calculations. INVINOVICH (1) saves his best form for this circuit and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Top-three conveyance. Former Victorian galloper ALDOLFITO (3) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced down south. Respect any market confidence. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,8,1,3.
