Vancouver Bay to take charge ahead of The Eighth I Am at a strong tempo. BUBBLES'N'FROTH (4) absolutely smashed them by four lengths at Bowen last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that dominant showing. This is a bit harder but Whiteley sticks and another strong run would not shock. INNOVATES (7) has been right there in all four starts since joining the new stable and will be cherry-ripe for this. Only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a role in the finish. PURPOSE 'N' VISION (8) was a touch plain at the latest effort but the form prior was full of merit. Can bounce right back in this contest. KEEP ON RUNNING (1) has won over this course and distance and is better than the last run suggests. In the mix if he brings his A-game. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bubbles'n'froth to go back-to-back.
