Internal Affairs and Thyme To Go will press forward but with many of these facing the starter for the first time they may not get their own way in front. INTERNAL AFFAIRS (7) is back at the races for the first time since finishing second in the Listed Inglis Nursery over this distance at Randwick in December. Trialling well so he looks forward enough to take care of this field. ORDER OF THE DAY (4) is a first starter by Stay Inside from a Choisir mare. Won his most recent trial by a big space at Warwick Farm. Wide gate the only concern. Tom Charlton's debutant SKYSTONE (5) looks a ready-to-run type. Has been to the trials twice and won them both, the latest at Hawkesbury on 1 June. Should give a good sight although the wide alley doesn't help. THYME TO GO (14) didn't jump the best but rallied late to finish a distant second over 1100m at Wyong last start. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and has the right draw to get every chance in running. PISTOLEER (15) turned in an eye-catcher on debut at Newcastle and will appreciate the extra 100m today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Internal Affairs looks too classy.
