Strong early tempo assured with a few locking horns early. THUNDERLIPS (8) promising gelding undefeated at this track. Strips fitter after running on late when resuming with a narrow fourth over 1100m at Rosehill on August 17. Can get cover early from the draw and play a leading role. WORLD ALLIANCE (9) racing in a rich vein of form and rewarded for his consistency when unleashing a solid late burst to score a neck win over 1200m here two weeks ago. Jumps in weight and will relish the fast tempo. IRON MAN (12) got going late when the race was all over to finish fourth over 1200m here on August 10. Another who will appreciate the good early speed and stays in the mix. FLYING DESTINY (3) speedy gelding chasing his third-straight victory in this tougher race. Led throughout with the big weight when a commanding 2 len winner over 1250m at Canterbury on August 28. Will give plenty of cheek here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thunderlips each way.
