Mystic Forces looks the most likely to push forward and take up the lead. MR BELLAGIO scored a good win on debut at the Sunshine Coast before hitting the line well for second over this trip last time out. Looks to have plenty of ability and he looks right up to winning this. Mystic Forces the likely leader. MR BELLAGIO has had heavy-backing both runs winning on debut and just missing in this grade. Can win this if he lines up. STAR JUSTICE can trail off the ace and just missed FU off a trial win. Gets Griffin today and will go close. COOMERA has placed FU all three race runs and is going on with it this prep. Impressed at the Gold Coast and has genuine claims. MYSTIC FORCES sits handy and is up to this at best. Gets the blinkers first time for the 2U run.
SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Bellagio straight out.
