ARKANSAW KID (1) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish third over 6f in the G3 Aurie's Star Handicap at Flemington at his latest appearance. Has a superb record here at this trip with two wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. Will find this a little easier than last start. Bold showing expected. NDOLA (4) finished 3 lengths behind the winner in fourth over 6f in the G3 Aurie's Star Handicap at Flemington last start after lifting strongly to score when fresh from a lay-off two runs back. Good record at this journey with five wins and two minor placings from nine starts and should be in the finish. RECOMMENDATION (7) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 4 lengths back in third over 6f in the G3 Bletchingly Stakes at this track. The engagement of Blake Shinn is a positive move. In the right race and is a winning hope. MCGAW (10) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on February 28, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths over 5f at Flemington. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Must be respected.
