Captain Fox should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. QUEEN ASSASSIN (2) is building an imposing record and was too good this grade here first-up heavily supported. Just missed at Doomben prior and Wiggins is booked today. Fitter and can go right on with it. DR NEIGH (3) resumes off a 70 win here. Has placed 4/5 fresh and can make the finish. CAPTAIN FOX (7) may control the race from the rail. Was beaten 1L behind QUEEN ASSASSIN last time and will take pegging back. COURTESY BUS (6) has been knocking on the door and can secure the run of the race. Well in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Queen Assassin.
