VINDICTA (3) just missed the placings in town last time out and should find this assignment much more to his liking. Loves this sprint trip with three wins and a second from just five attempts and will be at peak fitness for this. Likely to play a major role in the outcome. The well-related SHAKO (1) (half to G2 winner Arcaded) loves this track and trip with two wins and three seconds from just five starts and will be high on confidence following that last-start victory. Nicely placed to take this out. SHOW ME MERCY (2) is two from two over this course and distance and gets some weight relief with the 1.5kg claim. In the mix. BOSSED UP (4) is first-up here but has a solid fresh record and must be respected from the Gollan barn. Worth including. STATE IN TEXAS (5) next in line from the inside alley.
