Gin A Tonic has good early speed and can negate the outside draw.
BENZOU (7) was an impressive winner here when resuming over the 1000m and looks ready now for the step-up to the six-furlong trip. Graham sticks in the irons and can make it back-to-back wins to start the campaign. COSMO CENTAURUS (10) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but the strong Sunny Coast win to kick off the preparation was very good. Pay to forgive the latest effort. ASTAPOR (2) has won over this course and distance and strips fitter third-up from the spell. Top-three candidate. GIN A TONIC (4) races best over this 1200m trip and is usually thereabouts. Include in multiples. YABBY PUMP (8) brings NSW formlines to the table and will get a gun run from the inside alley. Hard to leave out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Benzou to win again.
