Just a moderate tempo given the absence of pacy gallopers. MOGWAI (2) progressive gelding who comes back a grade after having genuine excuses from the wide draw when sixth to Bunker Hut over 1350m here at latest. Maps to win and carries the big weights well. MISSILE SEEKER (11) dominant victory at Kembla two-back, before getting out of his ground again from the low draw and never getting a clear crack at them when fourth over 1550m at Canterbury. Down sharply in weight and look for him producing late. Each-way. IT'S A WONDER (8) frustrating mare who gets back in her races and needs everything to go right. Should get the right tempo and McEvoy sticks with the blinkers going on. RUSH ATTACK (10) building a tidy win record and strips fitter after holding on well for a narrow second over 1400m at Newcastle. Back in good order and deserves his chance here. PROMITTO (1) tough gelding who gets good weight relief with the claim in this easier contest. Proven in this grade and goes into the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mogwai to go close.
