Mafia is the probable leader in the small field. MAFIA (1) ran a strong race first up at Canterbury on heavy ground, racing on the speed and sticking on well for third. He'll strip much fitter for that and second up last campaign he was third in a much stronger race in town. Maps beautifully and should go close. LOS PADRES (4) can mix his form but did find the line strongly at Wyong last time out after getting a long way back. If he can land a touch closer here he'll be very hard to hold out. MR ROCK IT (3) is coming off a narrow win here over 1000m, scoring a tough win in BM64 grade. He doesn't win many but finds another suitable race here. CRYPTONIC (5) can run well fresh having handled wet ground in the past. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mafia to win.
