Good tempo with several going forward, primarily Falcon Gold, Eternal Ember and Our Lady Rockstar. SOOO CRAZY (1) resumes after going quickly through the grades last prep. Gripped on late with the 60kg to run third over 1000m at Queanbeyan in BM66 class last October. Fitted with the 1000m trial win and can get the better of these. FALCON GOLD (2) chasing his third win from the last four starts and drawn poorly for this. Taken straight to the front and never headed with a dominant win over 950m at Cowra. Will need plenty of luck and this time and has each way prospects. HUNTER ONE (6) sharp improver at her second race start with a commanding Maiden win over 1010m at Moruya. Looks up to this from the low gate. ETERNAL EMBER (5) returns from a lengthy break. Won twice from the three starts in the first prep and clearly has ability. Fitted with the two trials and not to be underestimated in this stronger contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,2,6,5.
