Popilita and Geegees Missile should set a strong gallop. Competitive. The speedy GEEGEES MISSILE (8) went close in Stakes grade before the spell and has gone back-to-back this preparation, heavily bet. She has more to give and has the early tow to position forward from the wide barrier. Darmanin stays aboard and that adds to the confidence. NAVAL ANTHEM (2) improved his numbers at Hobart in stronger 61 days ago and is back with a Longford trial win under the saddle. Maps well and performs on the fresh side. Just has to hold the form to feature. RARE ORO (10) was plainer here last time but impressed winning a CL1 easily at Hobart prior. Is on a 7-day return and is a chance to bounce. NGAPALI BEACH (6) resumes and is a first-up winner who'd be a chance if presented on-song. Won a recent trial at Longford. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Geegees Missile.
