Sky Duke should find the front with Zac Luvs To Fly and Valdarena on his heels. The first leg of the quaddie is over 1200m, and SNIPPY WHICH (2) will be a must include for all tickets after he finished fourth fresh up here just over 2 weeks ago. He would have gone close to winning that race had he not missed the start, and with an even beginning this time, he will be hard to hold out. OCEAN GODDESS (9) ran on late in tight quarters last time out and finished fifth. She has a better draw this time, and if the gaps come at the right time, she can bounce straight back into the money. Each way. VALDARENA (5) ran some good races last season and will be resuming from a decent spell. She looked in forward condition when placed in a recent trial, and she will be ready to run a race. Watch the markets closely. SKY DUKE (1) has been racing consistently since winning here in February. He was third as favourite here 15 days ago over 1000m, and with an extra furlong to travel, he will be among the hardest to beat. Follow your money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ocean Goddess each way.
