Strong tempo with It Stays In Vegas, Winged and Live To Rise going forward ahead of Crook and Soobooco. SUPREME STYLE (10) lived right up to market expectations fresh when making light work of her rivals at Dubbo. Has clearly come back in great order and can keep building. IT STAYS IN VEGAS (4) returns and was a dominant CL1 winner when fresh last time in work. Readied with a trial and loves this distance. Just needs a smart steer from a sticky draw. SOOBOOCO (5) doesn't win out of turn but shoulders competitive peaks. Draws well and should be making his presence felt. SOLAR BLAST (6) was well below his best last time at Muswellbrook but his three runs prior all stack right up for this. Bullock's booking suggests he's still going well enough to play a role. Not dismissing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Supreme Style gets the nod.
