Solid tempo anticipated with Zou Big Boy and Hulkamania leading the way. The well-related LARRIKIN ROGUE (5) (half to G3 winner Shamalia) goes well here on his home circuit with a win and five placings from eight spins and is much better than recent efforts suggest. Given a bit of a tune-up with a recent trial placing and finds a suitable assignment so this looks his chance. ARALETTA (14) is usually thereabouts and and added to a series of top-four finishes when going under by just half-a-length at Doomben last time. Hasn't missed a place in four tries at this distance so should be in the finish again. BILLIONAIR BABY (6) is a player aided by a favourable draw. Last-start winner KODIAK (3) deserves respect again while CASROCK (16) improved to place last start and could be ready to peak. SUGGESTED PLAY: Larrikin Rogue to get back into the winners' stall.
