In a race without an obvious leader, either Lucky Neko or Pride Of Glasgow can roll them along. PRIDE OF GLASGOW (3) has lifted his ratings noticeably at each run this prep, culminating in a close second last start over a similar trip to this at Grafton. Should position beautifully from the good draw and this looks his big chance to break through. SHEZ MYSTERIOUS (6) has made up good late ground to finish just outside the placings at both her runs to date, the latest over this distance at Inverell. A potential lack of pace is her biggest worry but expect another big finish. HOMELAND (4) went back from a wide draw last time and did a good job to be beaten under two lengths over today's journey at Inverell. Draws a bit closer this time so he might go forward. Should be about the money again. LUCKY NEKO (5) started favourite but disappointed on debut at Grafton recently. Worth another chance with the step up in trip. ROCK THE MACHINE (11) can sneak into the top four on a seven-day backup. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Pride Of Glasgow.
