Power Ace and Possibilities will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. Doubt there's too much between the Waller pair. POSSIBILITIES (11) won easily at the Sunshine Coast four back and has placed close-up in stronger city company the three times since. Maps for a soft run and Mallyon goes on. Drops back to the mile and is sure to go close. Stablemate CANTARITO (9) was well supported at Eagle Farm against the above and jumped slowly and was caught wide after. She's placed in a Grafton trial since (as required by stewards) and is well placed at best. Draws handy and Wiggins replaces Mallyon. Worth another chance. SMART ACTION (1) steps up to 1650m off a solid sprint effort. Has a wide gate to contend with but strips fitter and if he ran up to his best he'd have claims. POWER ACE (7) resumed in good order over 1500m for the top barn and may go on with it this time around. Has some gear tweaks, including the tongue tie on again. Is free running and keep safe. RASHFORD (3) peaks and is much better suited than Doomben. Consider as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Possibilities.
