Plenty of early action headed by The Concentration set alight from wide out, joined by Speedy Fortune pushing on from better gates. WINNING HEART (1) has been knocking on the door for a long time now, finishing 1.3L off the winner in stronger company most recently. He drops back to C5 today where he was right on the cusp. Draws a nice gate today and can finally get the job done now. STERLING WONGCHOY (5) just missed last start over this course and distance and gets Zac Purton in the saddle today. He's inching closer to his maiden victory and he finds a very suitable event today. Just has to repeat what he did last start to be going close. HO HO STAR (10) finished 2L away as favourite last time out and as steps up in trip once again today. He's trialled nicely since that effort and he should get his chance from the barrier. Ticks plenty of boxes and should be right in the finish. SPEEDY SMARTIE (4) gets Bowman in the saddle today and won't be far away.
