Genuine pace with Never Sober taking up the running ahead of Invictus Domini and Agassi. OCEANZARA (5) was only 1.6L off the winner when dropping back to 1400m last time out, sticking on well over the closing stages. Back up to the mile now and into easier company looks an ideal recipe. Maps well from the draw and can bounce back to winning ways. MY FURY (7) was terrible at Albany most recently but was in great form prior to that. She is known to dip third-up though and she can bounce back sticking at the mile now. Nicely placed and can return to the winners list. JUSTAMIDDY (10) just missed two back before a sound effort in CL3 company over this track and trip most recently. He drops in weight this time and draws a much better gate today. Sure to be about the finish. HIS EMINENCE (9) disappointed second-up after a nice fresh effort, but he boasts strong third-up stats. Won't be far away. NEVER SOBER (8) is better than he showed last time out and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oceanzara gets the nod.
