Miss Altair resumes after a 21-week spell and looks well-placed to make an impact back at this level. She has shown some potential in tougher metro races, especially with solid efforts where she was caught wide but kept fighting on. With the advantage of Daniel Stackhouse aboard and her proven ability to handle soft going, she’s in with a decent shot here if she can find cover early. If she’s improved during her time off, she has the potential to be right in the mix.
Here Comes Johnnie has proven consistency, with wins and placings in recent races, making him one to keep an eye on here. He has shown a clear affinity for similar conditions, and his record on this type of track is solid. With the added bonus of Adam McCabe in the saddle, who’s familiar with his style, he should have the perfect setup to be in contention throughout. If he can secure a position just off the leaders, his strong late kick could give him the edge he needs to finish on top. The slight class rise isn’t a worry given his form. I like him here tonight.
