Just Desserts has good gate speed and likely to set a genuine tempo with the advantage of the inside draw. JUST DESSERTS (1) looks a nice horse in the making. He did plenty wrong on debut when third but has atoned for that with two good wins, dominant onto turf at Seymour last time when scoring by 5.5 lengths. He'll kick up from the inside and go close. RICH KING (9) is coming off a good maiden win at Bendigo. Ran out this trip strongly there and sets up well on speed again, consider. SARAPO (10) resumed with a narrow maiden win at Bendigo and should only improve up in trip. Will be running on. STAY HUMBLE (2) continues to race very well without winning, he's another that will set up on speed and run well. ROGUE WARRIOR (4) next best off a narrow win at Tatura. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just Desserts to win.
