Expecting Ocean Road to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. TONIA'S DRAGON (2) is a course winner and she has beaten this grade before. Has been twice trialled for a third then a win so is ready to go. Top tier chance. INCA BELLE (6) is proven on dry and wet ground. Helped by a 3kg claim in this. She is a quinella and trifecta must. KAIMAI QUEEN (3) is a multiple class dropper here. Twice course placed. She is a trifecta and first four chance. SUPER WRAITH (1) was a poor run when resuming. He has been twice placed second up. Can place of be first four at best in this. OCEAN ROAD (4) is a definite chance here fresh up. He has won in this state before. Chance here for sure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tonia's Dragon is the hardest to beat fresh up here. Box the quinella as a saver of her, Inca Belle and Kaimai Queen.
