Fast pace assured with Pushalot, King Lesong and Into The Fire leading the charge. INTO THE FIRE (6) disappointed two back but jumped favourite in a similar race two back when sitting on a good speed and missing by 2L. The winner has held that form and Into The Fire will carry less weight today with Brookes' claim. Can go one better this time. PROPHET TIME (3) won a similar ace two back and was 4.8L off the winner most recently in a tough race. Can be prominent from a good draw and her best form will see her right in the finish. JACOB JOE (8) held on to score when right down in the weights last time out, getting the job done in a photo finish. This looks to shape similarly from an inside draw today though and she can repeat the dose. PUSHALOT (4) is better than she showed last time out and can improve with the drop in distance and grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Into The Fire can get back to winning ways.
