Wild Canary and Brullen possess good early speed. The former Singapore galloper STRIKE GOLD (1) prepared well and went close at Bendigo first-up. He maps well, and the longer sprint suits. Coffey takes over from the apprentice and fitter, he finds a winnable assignment. NEON'S LAST (5) resumed with a comfortable 58 win at Donald and the former South Australian seeks the hat-trick. Maps well and with the extra fitness shapes as a quinella hope. HIGHLAND SON (2) would be a strong hope if he found his best Queensland form. He's been disappointing, but may sit closer today with Linda booked, and show more. FOXY HEART (9) was only beaten 1.6K at Geelong, but was terrible here on the wet course proper following. Uses the rail and will likely appreciate the synthetic surface. Goes in at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to go past Strike Gold.
