Plenty of pressure with Miss Force, Booya Boy and Prestige Pak leading the charge. CAT CALL (14) couldn't have been more impressive when saluting by over five lengths at the Gold Coast last time out and will have taken a lot from that dominant victory. Will be rock-hard fit for this and can go back-to-back. DIALIDAE (9) returned in good order with a close-up second over this course and distance and should get a gun run from gate three. Should be right there at the business end. The well-related RACKETEER (6) (half to G3 winner and G2 placed Media World) got the maiden out of the way first-up and may have turned the corner now. Sure to be in the mix. CIPHERTEXT (8) is yet to miss a place in six starts over this track and trip and rarely puts in a poor one. Has to be included. THE ROOKIE (11) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 14,9,6,8.
