Expecting Command Approved to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. Competitive contest to close out the card with many last-start winners engaged. Former NSW galloper BIG BOY GEORGE (6) looked good saluting over this course and distance when having his first run for the new stable and winning rider Wheeler stays in the stirrups. Will be high on confidence following that first-up victory and can go right on with the job now. HAYSIRI (4) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for a contest of this nature. Can return in winning order. The well-related REGGIE'S FOLLY (11) (half to G1 winner Heavens Above) is a former Victorian having his first run for the new barn. Respect any market confidence. LUPINE (16) is a winner around this circuit, draws low and gets 3kg off with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. BEARHUG (8) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,4,11,16.
