Solid tempo anticipated with Arianna's Gold taking charge. I'M A MACHINE (3) was beaten 1L first-up at Launceston and raced favourite there over 1400m, following, beaten 2L as a $2.4 favourite. Has a low gate and Byrne Burke goes aboard. Looks well placed to get off the mark. ARIANNA'S GOLD (8) led and missed a nose in the same contest. Peaks for this and will give a big sight again. KION'S KINGDOM (4) improved sharply, beaten a half-length over 1400m at Launceston. Pires gets off of I'm A Machine to stick, and he maps to get every chance. MONCLERE (5) tries hard and won't be far away if he brings his A-game to this. His best form is over this longer sprint. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to I'm A Machine.
