Speed should be right on over the 1200m journey. Tricky race to finish. SEMILLION (9) resumes. He hasn't won in some time but he wasn't far away in a decent race in Sydney first up last campaign and he draws well. NAVAL ACADEMY (8) resumes. He did some nice things last campaign and has trialled sharply. He boasts a win over Stoli Bolli in this grade so must be included. PERSPIRATION (5) returns for the keys camp and will be looking to pick straight back up from where he left off last campaign when enjoying success down in Tasmania. Has jumped out sharply in readiness and gets in well with the 3kg claim. ELOUYOU (7) worked home fairly here three weeks ago when resuming and usually improves sharply with a run under his belt. Can play a role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Semillion each-way.
