Plenty of pressure from Haphazard, Remember Roy and Scarlett Moda battling for the lead over Coppabella Road. LINE 'EM UP LOUI (5) is a former Hong Kong galloper who creates plenty of interest resuming for the Massingham yard. Has been off the scene for a long while, but has trialled well at the track and Wiggins' engagement suggests he's pleasing. The betting will give a decent guide to his readiness. COPPABELLA ROAD (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish a long neck away in second over 1000m at Townsville. Looks well placed so expect another strong run. SCARLETT MODA (11) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 950m at this track. Should be ridden positively again and should prove tough to beat. BELLZEN (2) impressed winning this grade/trip first-up and expect him to be hitting the line again. HAPHAZARD (9) resumes and will skip across to the speed. She's up to this and has plenty of scope for improvement. Keep a close eye on the market. SUGGESTED PLAY: Line 'Em Up Loui if the betting suggests stable confidence.
