|---|---|---|---|---|

Moderate tempo headed by Akrotiri.
BECAMO (10) goes well for hoop Lang who has two wins and a placing from just four steers and again gets 1.5kg off with her claim. The extra furlong here suits and maps well from gate four. Should be right there when the judge calls a halt. AKROTIRI (1) wasn't too far off them in Listed company last time out and will find this assignment much more to his liking. Another to get some weight relief and should be in this for a long way. BENGAL BOY (11) has hit the top-four at his past four outings and has winning claims if he brings his best. BITOFTHEBLARNEY (13) got the job done over this distance range at the latest effort and can make it back-to-back victories. CELESTIAL FURY (14) rounds out the selections in an open affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 10,1,11,13.
