A race that is devoid of early speed and it is hard to nominate a leader. IDYLLIC RULER (2) was gutsy when first-up off just one trial, going under in a photo finish over 1400m here 11 days ago. The winner of that event has since won at Ascot on Tuesday. He usually improves with a run under his belt and is a winner over this course and distance. Can go one better today. AUDIO BOY (1) ran over the top to win at Ascot last start over the mile, winning by 0.7L in this class. The form out of that has been very strong and it wouldn't surprise to see him improve again off that win. Looks a progressive type who'll be hard to beat. ODIN OMEN (6) disappointed last start when racing at the back of the field and never coming into the race at Geraldton. Right down in the weights now and he rates highly off his prior form. Expecting a better run this time. WOZZECK (4) is racing in good order and can feature back in grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Idyllic Ruler gets the nod.
