Run Lucy Run to take charge ahead of Big Boy George at a solid tempo.
Looks a race with a stack of chances. BOONDOCKS (6) returned to the winners' stall over this seven-furlong journey at the latest effort and saves his best form for this trip. Should get a nice run in transit from the middle draw and can make it back-to-back victories. CHO OYU (7) is lightly raced but goes well for hoop Dempsey who has a win and two seconds from just three steers. Looks to have some upside and is sure to play a big role. Former NSW galloper BIG BOY GEORGE (10) has grown a leg since joining the new stable and did place over this track and trip last time out. Top-three contender on recent form. POSEIDON RULER (14) has been thereabouts in recent outings and will be rock-hard fit for this. Finds a suitable race here. AOLANI (16) best of the rest with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,7,10,14.
