Active Duty and Acelum to take up the running at a genuine tempo. STEEL MOVE (6) improved again narrowly beaten this grade trip at Seymour. Draws inside and can take this out with the extra fitness. ACTIVE DUTY (3) is a leader and also rates a winning chance. Drops back 503m off a nose defeat in a no-metro win at Morphettville Parks, but uses the inside gate and has been kept on the fresh side. TATSU (7) took the opportunity to lead at Geelong and missed by a nose. He was good on the synthetic prior and deserves consideration at an each-way price. ACELUM (8) won his Maiden at Kilmore by a big space at a short quote. This is harder but he's in a top stable and is sure to keep improving. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Steel Move.
