Keen tempo with Colleano and Aratiri prominent. Open race to close out the card. CELESTIAL BLAZE (2) has come back in good order putting back-to-back wins together and maps ideally for this from gate four. Gets some well-needed weight relief with the 2kg claim and is sure to be there at the finish. ROCK YA (6) has won two from three around this circuit and will strip fitter second-up from the break. Going well enough to take this out. ARATIRI (7) just missed the frame at Doomben last time out but that was on the back of two wins in a row. Worth another chance. ADDITION (11) next best from the Gollan camp. SUGGESTED PLAY: Celestial Blaze to bring up the hat-trick.
