SUSPICIOUS CAPTAIN (10) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5.5 metres from the winner in fifth over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row but has the class to take care of this field. CAPTAIN TYRON (8) is a two-year-old gelding from the Robert & Jenna Dunn yard on debut. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Looks to have some talent based on a recent trial win and will be ready to run a big race. FOREVER MIKI (1) is stepping out for the first time. By Always B Miki and hails from the Brent & Tim White stable. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Any push in betting will add to the confidence. NIKOLAI RAY (5) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at Phar Lap Raceway over 2050m.
