Top class trotter CALLMETHEBREEZE (3) hasn't been seen since he tackled a G1 last October but won three in a row prior. His record at this circuit and distance stands at three from four and he has a Great Southern Star victory over Just Believe on his resume. Readied with three nice trials and if he returns anywhere near his best will be very hard to stop. ALDEBARAN VERA (1) led from a few spots wider and kicked on for second here last start. Should be nearing her peak now and draws to give a sight. ALDEBARAN ZEUS (6) was held up late when midfield last week but was a winner here prior so can make an impact if things go his way from a wider draw. IM BOBBY (4) chased a smart one to place here last week so deserves respect along with first-up winner IMPERIAL MONARCH (5) who drops to a distance where he won his only attempt.
