Plenty of pressure from City Gold Speed, Zouandme and Hefty Price battling for the lead over Casino Collection. CITY GOLD SPEED (1) showed good early speed from the awkward gate on debut when a tiring third over 1000m at Scone. Would have taken great benefit out of that run and finds an easier contest. Hard to stop. HEFTY PRICE (13) unlucky gelding who resumes with an okay first-up record. Winkers come off without a trial and gets map favours. His consistent figures bring him right into contention. BOBBY IS KING (5) looks to have come back much stronger after racing on the speed on resumption when a tenacious second over 1000m at Casino. Nice weight drop for this but drawn out again. Solid top three prospect. ZOUANDME (4) former Victorian gelding now in the Scott Henley stable. First-up for the new yard faded in the heavy (8) going when seventh over 1130m at Grafton. Fitter now and must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: City Gold Speed finds a winnable race.
