Genuine tempo with Papasito leading the way. MAXIMUM OUTPUT (1) hasn't been too far away in richer contests of late and should find this assignment much more to his liking. Gets a bunch of weight off with the 3kg claim and is sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. SARAQAEL (10) goes well for rider Satherley who has four wins and five placings from 13 steers and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Expected to play a role in the outcome. TRACK TALE (4) is an eight-time winner around this circuit who shouldn't be discounted lightly. DEHORNED UNICORN (5) is a five-time winner over this sprint journey and will be rock-hard fit for this. In the mix. HURTLE (6) next best at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,10,4,5.
