Tactical given the lack of speed. Lots of these look close to getting off the mark. REGAL GENT (2) has raced four times and keeps improving, the latest a fast finishing second when having first try over the mile. Looks overdue and will be tough to stop again. GOOD HARMONY (5) is another close to a win, finishing fourth over 1200m on debut before stepping up to 1400m and running on hard for second. Extra trip looks a plus and has upside. GOLD TOPAZ (1) showed ability last time in and even tackled stakes class. Resumed over a mile and found the line well to place and can only be fitter. Expected to run well again. HALF SCOTCH (6) has been thereabouts over 1400m the last couple, placing most recently. First try the trip and should be at top now. KAMAROOKA (7) is better than recent form suggests and gets chance to atone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Regal Gent.
