HEADWALL (7) made up a stack of ground in a harder race at Flemington last time out and will find this assignment much more to his liking. The step-up to the 1200m now looks ideal and will be at his peak fourth-up from the spell. Rates the testing material. TRIBECA STAR (9) is one from one over this course and distance and rarely puts in a poor one. Cannot be discounted. RALPHIE (3) got the job done at the Gold Coast at the latest effort and Mallyon stays on top. In the mix. SAFEWORK (5) is a three-time winner at this circuit and can trouble the judge with any luck from the sticky draw. BUBBA'S BAY (1) is two from two here, draws the inside alley and gets 3kg off with the claim. Ticks a few boxes.
