NERANO (4) is resuming from a spell that would have done him the world of good. He has won fresh up in the past and looked forward in condition when finishing close up in a recent trial. He is the likely leader, and with the aid of a 3kg claim, he will take a lot of pegging back. AKAKA FALLS (3) was only a head back from the winner when finishing third here just over 2 weeks ago. He steps up to 1200m, which is as far as he wants, but with a 3kg claim, he is still worth including in all multiples. REJOICED (1) is a very handy local gelding who will strip fitter second up after finishing on strongly for fourth here when resuming from a spell. He has won 3 of his 5 starts when presented in this condition in the past, and he can take this out. MASTERPLAN (9) will be peaking third up and is stepping back up to 1200m. He is quite capable of figuring in the finish. Don't risk him. PICKO ROCKS (2) is resuming from a spell and has won fresh up in the past. He has a home track advantage.
