Pace looks genuine from Tavis Town, Brand New and Murrajong Road, closely attended by Rangi Toa.
MURRAJONG ROAD (2) is a very consistent conveyance who has remarkably hit the top-five in 16 of his past 17 outings. Has won around this circuit and is racing with a lot of confidence. Draws the inside alley and rates the testing material against this lot. FLAMENCO ROSE (5) loves this distance range with a win and two placings from just three attempts and will be rock-hard fit for this. Looms as the main danger. BRAND NEW (6) doesn't win out of turn but has been thereabouts of late and can feature if he brings his A-game. RANGI TOA (3) placed over this journey two back and looks one for the multiples. TAVIS TOWN (1) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Murrajong Road to win.
