Without a great deal of early pace evident Rockrata may lead the way over Ambassadors. Competitive affair to close out the card. LAND BANK (8) wasn't too far away when having the first start for the Gollan barn and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Looks the runner in this field with the most upside and should be going very close. AMBASSADORS (1) returned in fine fashion with a dominant win over this track and trip and gets a stack of weight relief with the 3kg claim. Can go back-to-back to start the campaign. CHAYSE 'N' PENNY (4) resumes here but showed enough when last in work to warrant consideration in a race like this. Top-three commodity while fresh. BOOMROUX (7) draws the inside alley and strips fitter third-up from the break. In the mix. EXPLOSIVE TYCOON (3) best of the rest with Maloney in the stirrups. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Land Bank.
