Dupont has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. COLLEANO (1) is a four-year-old gelding having his first run for the Matthew Hoysted barn. Resumes after showing ability in seven career starts on the Victorian provincial circuit. Fitted with a solid 1050m trial win and finds a nice race from the good draw. Hard to hold out. ROMAN REBEL (2) disappointed at his last three outings and will relish the big class drop today. Beaten for early speed and failed to make an impact when tenth over 1410m at Lismore in the NRRA Champs on February 22. Kept fresh and capable of lifting here. STILLWELL (8) improving gelding who sprinted well fresh when a sound second over 1200m at Coonamble. Looks well placed to repeat the dose. DAZZLING ROBERT (19) gets in light with the 3kg claim today after running a battling ninth with the 57kg over 1400m at this track. Handles conditions and looks great value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Colleano to take stopping.
