Moderate tempo headed by Gaming. FLASH PRINCE (6) backs up quickly after failing to fire a shot in the Coffs arbour Cup on Friday. Strikes a much easier assignment here and is drawn much kinder. Can bounce back sharply. GAVIN (1) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1700m at Grafton. Fair record at this trip with a win and five placings. Main danger. HERALD ANGEL (2) got too far back at the latest and never really looked likely. Is much better than that last run suggests and is worth another chance. MONTGOMERY (4) was better second-up and would've come on again from that efforts. Drawn well and reunites with the 2kg claimer in Spokes who knows him well. Can give this a shake. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flash Prince to win.
