Moderate pace with Station One taking up the running ahead of Cool Star and Baby Rider. IGOTCHA (3) was a close-up sixth after leading at Sandown two back then outclassed at Flemington last time. This is a much easier assignment and drops nicely in the weights. Will be close to the speed and expected to feature in the finish. STATION ONE (2) returns from a spell and is a fresh-up winner. Fitter for one hit-out and the barn have a knack of having then ready to fire fresh. Very well weighted with the claim and is a speedy type who will give a sight. BABY RIDER (1) has been freshened since finishing midfield over much further over the border. This is the easiest race for a while and gets chance to find some form. PAPAL ARMY (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 5.5 lengths into eighth. Best efforts measure up and will be winding up strongly. BUDDONG (4) resumes from a long break but is fitter for two hit-outs. Has the ability and is worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Igotcha is weighted to win.
