Off the low draw Magnatear should lead at a genuine tempo.
ALECTRONA (16) goes well over this distance range with two wins and four placings from nine attempts and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Drawn to get a gun run in transit from gate four and will be right there when the judge calls a halt. KEITEL (7) was well found when having the first run for the Vandyke barn and where there's smoke there's fire. Draws well for Maloney and should be hitting the line with gusto. MAGNATEAR (1) brings NSW formlines to the table and gets 3kg off with Franklin's claim. Keep very safe. BLAZEN BOOTS (10) got the job done when resuming and Thompson stays on top. Can go back-to-back to start the campaign. The well-related SULTRY SIREN (13) (half to 2xG1 winner Shadow Hero) rounds out the selections in a competitive affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 16,7,1,10.
