Good pace with Novela, Listentozou and Cardiologist matching motors. Open race to close out the card. Former Victorian CARDIOLOGIST (6) is having his first run for the new stable but has tuned up for this with a recent trial win and should find this easier than what he faced down south. Has placed five from six over this distance range and looks the one they all have to run down. Former SA galloper NOVELA (9) is first-up for the new yard but showed ability when last in work and any market moves must be respected. SKOGAFOSS (3) has only missed a place once in seven starts around this circuit and can make his presence felt again. BETTER BE SLICK (5) next best from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,9,3.
