From their wide draws Natural Deduction and Sonny Fella can spear over and establish a strong tempo. LA VESUVIUS (1) handy gelding with a sound record of three wins from eight starts. Returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when a plugging fifth to Tavi Time over 1400m in the Provincial CQ at Newcastle on March 2. Strips fitter now and can return to winning form over the mile with the claim. JACOB'S TIME (4) lightly raced gelding with a ton of ability. Sat on the speed when knocked up late to finish fifth over 1550m at Randwick Kensington on March 13. Close to his top now and this looks more to his liking. FROSBIE (8) had to work hard second-up from the wide gate when a tiring tenth over 1400m here in the Provincial CQ on March 9. Expecting more back in this company. NATURAL DEDUCTION (5) first-up after four months stuck on well with the 59kg when third over 1500m here on March 9. Undefeated second-up and looks to have come back much stronger. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,4,8,5.
