From wide out Call Out can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. THE WELLIAN (9) was good coming here last time. Only beaten 1.2L this track/trip in a 55. He maps for the run of the race and 2x winning rider Hellyer is reunited. Has weight relief and this is a winnable assignment. HORSBURGH (6) has threatened his last three and there was only 1.3L in it at Ipswich last time. He will use the inside gate and is back in grade. Winning claims. PRINCETON AWARD (7) resumed here with a near miss in a 55. The gate is sticky but will be fitter and deserves consideration. SOMAX (16) might be one to throw some value into wider plays. Turned things around when winning here last time and that is two good runs on this surface now. It clearly suits him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing The Wellian.
