Dalt Jaz, Rum Rumble and Unifies to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. PRESOCRATICS (4) last appeared when he finished sixth at Geelong on July 25. Has switched to the Gary Clem yard and is capable of playing a major role in this more suitable contest. MARIKO (8) is also on stable debut after two sound runs down in Newcastle. Looks easier for him this time. Expect him to settle back early and have the last shot at them. PANIGALE (3) has been thereabouts without threatening here in his two runs back. Strips fitter third-up and is drawn favourably. Can give this a shake. UNIFIES (7) resumes and is another that has transferred up from Victoria. Possesses good early speed, so expect him to bounce straight up there and be in this for a long way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Presocratics.
