Plenty of speed from Scheelite and Super Lad. CHICAGO STORM (6) is as tough as they come and continues to be a rock for the Aldridge camp. He drops 5.5kg after a strong on-pace effort here a fortnight ago and should get every chance again with Milnes aboard. Expect him to be right there when the pressure goes on and hard to hold out. ARRAN BAY (2) is cut from a similar cloth, though his form has been tested at a higher level. He thrives at this track and gets the services of Lloyd. Sure to be in the finish again, although the market has him well found. SCHEELITE (3) is a fast gelding who looks set to ensure a genuine tempo. If left alone in front, he could prove hard to reel in. DEAKIN (4) is a handy stayer resuming for the Stokes yard and brings strong ratings into the race, though this may be a touch sharp first-up against race-fit opposition. PUDDING (7) meets Chicago Storm worse at the weights after finishing ahead of him last start, but Pike from a favourable draw keeps him in the mix for the minors. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chicago Storm each-way.
