Lord Power and Tsunami can be prominent. Competitive. INNOVATES (5) ran a strong race last time out over 1250m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Has placed 2/3 third-up and has more up the sleeve. Wiggins sticking aboard is a big plus. MR OREO (7) finishing third and only 2 lengths from the winner in the same contest when he made late ground. Keeps the handy 2kg claim and will be working home in good style. LORD POWER (6) steps up from shorter sprints but two of his four wins have been at this trip. Has claims, but will need a good ride pushing forward from an outside gate. ELLIS BEACH (1) also draws wide but is an improver on a quick backup. Will be in the finish as well, if things go his way. FLOURISH (4) gets in well and will be around the mark putting her best foot forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Innovates.
