Expecting Certainlycan to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. TRANQUIL BAY (9) resumes here but has revved up for this with a recent trial and has placed four of six when first-up. Is a three-time winner over this six-furlong journey and looks a definite winning hope at odds. CERTAINLYCAN (6) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out and is definitely better than that run suggests. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and can bounce right back to form in this contest. DRANG A TANG (2) has put back-to-back victories together and it's hard to knock winning form. Top-three conveyance. LION CLASS (4) will be rock-hard fit for this and may trouble the judge with luck in running. GREAT ASPIRATIONS (13) next best with the Gollan/Maloney combination. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tranquil Bay each-way.
