Mr Cashman, Forms Of Fear and Doc O'connor to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. CRAZY BRAVE (5) is a handy ex-Queensland gelding who did not take long to break through for his first local win here nearly 3 weeks ago. He is meeting a similar field and is still nicely placed in the weights. Go again. DOC O'CONNOR (1) won fresh up by a neck on this track nearly 7 weeks ago. 1200m is as far as he wants but he will still be hard to peg back. FORMS OF FEAR (6) has been racing as consistently as ever since joining the Tayarn Halter stable and was third here 2 weeks ago. He is up in class but drops 4kg in weight and will be right in the finish again. CONCLAVE PRINCE (4) ran on too late here last start and was unsuited by the muddling pace that day. He is still on the up with his fitness and can bounce back in this. MR CASHMAN (3) always tries his best and was runner-up behind the top pick in his penultimate start nearly 3 weeks ago. Stick with him. SACCHARO (2) was third fresh up and he usually improves with racing. He wants longer but could lob into third again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crazy Brave to win.
