Pace only fair with Highland Eightgee rolling to the lead ahead of I Don't Think So and American Anthem. HIGHLAND EIGHTGEE (3) switched yards and went well at Newcastle first up before a lip defeat here and it was an impressive effort from the wide gate. He maps well today and fitter will take a stack of beating. LOST YA SOCK (5) resumes and will be right in the finish if presented forward. Maps well, and she will be naturally improved. I DON'T THINK SO (4) ran a much improved race at Muswellbrook and then raced on the speed here at big odds and raced accordingly. The tongue tie is applied again and she ia in the mix. TUSCANADO (7) peaks and will be better for his first run since the switch from Victoria. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Highland Eightgee to win.
