Expecting Rocketeer Girl to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. ZAHER (6) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough to feature in a race like this. Can run a big race while fresh. NORTH OF ELI (4) is another resuming but has a handy first-up record and should get a cosy run from gate four. In the mix. YES TO EXCESS (13) is a two-time winner over this course and distance and gets in well at the weights with the claim. Sure to make her presence felt. GERRYMANDER (9) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on while JENCHICK BOOM (17) gets the deadly Gollan/Jones combination and must be included in calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,4,13,9.
