Mafia and Watson possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. EXIT FEE (11) frustrating gelding unlucky not to have a few more wins on the CV. Was a month between runs and back in trip when he got out of his ground before running on late when fourth over 1100m at this track. Fitter now and can race closer here. Has genuine winning claims. READY TO SHINE (1) consistent gelding who won well two-back over this trip. Failed to run the 1300m out when he jumped in grade for a respectable fourth at Rosehill. Has further upside and winning apprentice sticks. COLUMBIA BLUE (3) bounced off his sound first-up second, with a fast-finishing victory over inferior opposition over 1200m at Rosehill. Meets a stronger field today with the rise in weight. Sure to be thereabouts. WATSON (4) strengthened over the break with a fighting on pace win over 1200m at Canterbury in BM72 class. Looks up to this and has the speed to get across from the outside gate. Each way. KREON (13) mixing his form and can't be underestimated on the limit from the inside gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exit Fee each way.
