Plenty of early pressure from Tricky Beans and Awol battling for the lead over Momack. The speedy AWOL (2) won by a space here and then held that figure at Doomben before returning to the winner's stall this track in a 70 as a short-priced favourite. Has won a trial since and can go on with the job. MOMACK (1) resumed with a 65 win at Chinchilla when expected to need it. He has more up his sleeve and the longer sprint suits better. Fitter and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. DOLLAR DOLLAR (5) won the CL6 comfortably and was pipped this grade following. Wiggins has won 2/3 on the gelding and is reunited. A chance. BUNGARRIBEE LAD (4) drawn well and back to provincial level can also threaten. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Awol.
