Plenty of pace established by Prince Of Sorts, Forecaster and Direct Fire, with Tenderize close at hand. GOLD PATTERN (9) underrated mare who will appreciate the better draw and fast tempo. Never comfortable in the soft (7) going when covered ground to run sixth over 1400m at Warwick Farm in BM78 grade at latest. Fitted with a recent 1200m Randwick trial and the tongue-tie goes on. Respect. NORTHERN EYES (1) consistent gelding who looks placed to advantage in this easier contest. Set to peak fourth up after gripping on to run fourth over 1350m at Wyong in the Prov Wildcard. Claim helps and sure to be thereabouts. MAILATA (16) improving gelding who stretches out to this trip for the first time. Strong through the line along the inside when fourth over 1200m at Gosford in the Prov Champs on March 15. Since won an 804m trial. Maps well and capable of taking this out. TENDERIZE (3) won three of his last four starts and jumps in trip and weight from the sticky gate. Place claims best. PRINCE OF SORTS (4) good on pace gelding going nicely through his grades. Expected to give plenty of cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gold Pattern each way.
