They will be getting along early with China Grove and Fire Up Bruce leading the charge. BILL PEYTO (7) has raced his way back into form with a brace of third placings on his home track of Armidale. All of his 3 career wins have come over a mile and he should be thereabouts at the business end. GLOBAL SENSATION (9) has improved in each of his starts this prep with a couple of second placings on the bounce. Mikayla Weir keeps the ride and the extra furlong should be right in his favour. Can win. OUR GIRL EVE (4) won at Grafton 2 starts back before being beaten as favourite at Armidale last time out after overracing during the running. He is worth another chance with a return to the mile here. Stick with him. FIRE UP BRUCE (6) has failed to fire at his last few outings but is a chance to bounce here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bill Peyto on top.
