Chevallum has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. POSSIBILITIES (14) doesn't win out of turn but is an honest commodity who has hit the top-four at her past 13 starts. Has placed two from two over this course and distance and should be right there at the business end. CHEVALLUM (4) has put back-to-back wins together and is racing high on confidence of late. Has to be included in calculations. CANTARITO (11) hasn't been too far away in recent efforts and will be rock-hard fit for this. Looks a must for the exotics players. USE YOUR ILLUSION (2) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. AIRSWING (3) next in line from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 14,4,11,2.
