Strong pace as Gimme Five pushes forward along with King Alloy from an outside gate. AUTUMN VIBES (2) comes back in grade today and gets the services of Purton in the saddle today. He's been switched to the Brett Crawford barn since his latest effort and his most recent trial was strong. Can notch up his maiden victory under favourable circumstances. MAJESTIC DELIGHT (5) won well two back before missing as a $3.40 favourite last time out. He was in top order before that effort, though Bowman staying on board is a positive sign. Can bounce back to his best now and that'll see him hard to hold out. GIMME FIVE (3) is another who comes back in grade after a very disappointing performance when a $10 chance at Happy Valley. He can be close to the speed from an inside draw and his latest trial coming here was solid. Not to be discounted in what looks a suitable event. KING ALLOY (11) can roll across from his wide barrier and be in this race for a very long way.
