Genuine tempo with Vegas On Fire leading King Halston. KHOR (4) was a heavily bet Maiden winner before spelling and was back on track second-up narrowly beaten at Werribee over a mile. Will keep improving and John Allen is reunited. In the premier barn and can go one better. VEGAS ON FIRE (9) peaks and has been knocking on the door. Finds more manageable grade and can control the race from the inside gate. She's a solid each way hope. JACKAND (5) is busting to win and races here instead of Sandown-Hillside tomorrow. Drops back in distance but maps for a soft run. Rates well and is worth another chance. MARIOTA (2) won his Maiden on debut over 1500m as expected. Childs is a positive jockey booking and he appears promising. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Khor.
