Plenty of potential, comes off a nice win, don't count him out.

Race preview
BELLISSIMO ACQUISTO NZ (10) made a nice return at his latest appearance eight days ago, finishing 4 metres away in third over 1660m at this track. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Steps up a level but he is fitter and up to the task. CAPTAINS PICK (3) made it two wins from his last three outings eight days ago, getting home by a neck over 1660m at this track. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. CREDULOUS (9) disappointed last time when tenth over 2138m at this track. Can atone. MACH ASSASSIN (2) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw.
