Expecting Vadamos Queen to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. KOBAYASTAR (6) grows a leg for hoop Whiteley who has two wins and two placings from just four steers and rarely puts in a poor one. Saves her best form for her home circuit here and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. Former Hong Kong galloper LINE 'EM UP LOUI (7) got the job done over this course and distance at the second run for the new stable and may have turned the corner now. Can go back-to-back. NOLAN (2) boasts a win over this track and trip, strips fitter third-up from the break and gets some weight relief with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. RUM RUMBLE (9) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and may earn some minor money. NORTHERNONTAP (4) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Kobayastar.
