Plenty of early pace from Abit Rattley and Aloha Blue primarily. CAPTAIN JOOLIAN (5) returns and usually goes well fresh. Played a role in some solid form races last campaign and should forward enough following recent trial where she was pushed out late. Crowther piloting another push for his chances. ABIT RATTLEY (4) is yet to strike through this campaign but has been thereabouts. Peaking now and gets his chance to break a long run of outs. OUTPOST (2) has been far from his best in his last two starts in town. Easier now and should be nearing a peak effort. Don't dismiss lightly. DAWNBURST (12) didn't offer a shout last start in town when sent around at long odds. Is better than that recent run suggests and can threaten in this grade. L'ESPERANCE ROCK (10) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Captain Joolian.
