|---|---|---|---|---|

Looks a decent tempo with Rock 'N' Reign, Climate Control and Lily Bobtail leading the charge. CLIMATE CONTROL (3) strips fitter at his third run in and will appreciate the fast tempo. Chased right to the line with the 58kg when a tenacious fourth over 1200m at Scone. Kept fresh and can finish over the top of these. BEYOND MY KEN (1) resumes without a trial. Never a chance from the outside gate when a battling twelfth over 1100m at Randwick in Highway class last August. Expected to carry the 62.5kg and take a hand in the finish. ROCK 'N' REIGN (4) stalked the speed when a game third over 1000m at this track with the 60kg. Doesn't have to improve much to finish in the money. KING SOLEIL (6) back from a six-month break. Lone victory came over this course and distance first-up and he gets the ideal setup today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Climate Control will take holding out.
