Solid tempo anticipated with Elronte taking charge. SIMPLY EXCELS (1) was a touch disappointing at the latest effort but the form prior was good enough for a race of this nature. Boasts a win around this circuit and will be rock-hard fit for this. Expected to play a major role in the outcome. VIALE (8) is a last-start winner who draws the inside alley and gets 1.5kg weight relief with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. THE HAMO (2) came back in fine fashion with a solid victory over this track and trip last time out. Gets 2kg off and must be included in calculations. ELRONTE (12) hasn't done much wrong with a win and a second from two career outings. Plenty of upside. THE POOL BOY (11) can make a splash with any luck from the outside draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Simply Excels each-way.
