Only a small field with Checkout Chick likely to find a comfortable lead. IKON PARK (1) ran well on debut last start to finish third over this track and trip, only warming into it late. Sure to take a lot from that hitout and keeps Loy's hot-hand. Will prove tough to beat. FORGIVE ME FATHER (4) never really looked likely despite the market support on debut when settling a long way back on at Canberra Acton. From a sharp stable so willing to give another look with Keatings staying in the saddle. TROFEO (5) is mixing his form but could make his presence felt on the quick back-up. SAVAGENTO (12) filly by D'argento on debut. Purchased for AUD $ 20,000 (Magic Millions 2025 Gold Coast Yearling Sale). Didn’t do a lot in her most recent trial but worth watching for a betting push. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ikon Park to win.
