Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Fitzalan and Never A Thought. AFFIRMATIVE LAD (8) resumes. His form last time in reads well for this having won his maiden first up before contesting some better races, good in a pair of BM58's at the end of the preparation. He's won a trial leading in and looks a key chance. FITZALAN (9) proved too speedy breaking her maiden at Albury last start, backed into $1.70 and duly saluting. She's a promising type for strong connections who can measure right up. INTRIGUING STATE (6) won his maiden nicely fresh over this route, somewhat of a shock at $17 but doing it dominantly. Have to respect again now. LAST STYLEBENDER (2) was a narrow maiden winner first up at Cranbourne and just needs a good ride early to be going close here too. DON'T RUSSIA (11) has been big odds but outperforming them comfortably of late. 1.3 lengths away at Caulfield last time is excellent form for this and she should be right there despite a tough draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Affirmative Lad on top.
