Smart pacer FIGHTER COMMAND (11) returns to Sydney in winning form having worked from a back row draw before proving too strong by 3.7m at Melton last start. That was his first outing for six weeks so it should have improved him. Good enough to overcome the wide draw and win. BOOM (7) is in good form with back-to-back wins away from the city, the latest in the Wagga Cup. Was runner-up despite a flat tyre at this venue last month. Contender. CHEVRON ART (8) raced parked but stuck on for second in the Goulburn Cup last start, adding to his consistent form. Go well again. RYANS GANGSTER (10) draws wide but is hard to knock off a string of top-two finishes.
