Solid pace with Golden Galaxy finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. OBLIVION (1) charged home to win a similar race to this at Kempsey two starts ago lumping 64.5kgs. Struggled under a big weight against better company last start. Beautifully drawn and back in his right grade so watch for a return to form. CUPID'S KISS (2) overcame a slow start to record an impressive win in a Bm50 over 850m at Coonabarabran a fortnight ago. Has a decent record at today's trip so with a bit of luck from the wide alley she is a definite threat. The speedy GOLDEN GALAXY (7) will run them along and give backers a sight. HEAVENLY PROPHET (6) is well-drawn and gets a great chance to improve on recent efforts here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oblivion to win the last.
