Just a moderate tempo headed by Chief Of Staff, Pharaline and Gold Puma. CHIEF OF STAFF (2) is another strong winning chance for the in-form Matt Dunn stable. He's switched from the Waller yard in Sydney on a 49-day return. Didn't have the best of it at Canterbury last time in a strong form race and his best numbers read well for this. Well-bred and Bullocks' booking suggests he's pleasing. ZIGGY ROSE (14) is up from Goulburn and she impressed placing at Dubbo first up. Her form at the back of her initial campaign reads well. Boudvillain sticks aboard, and she will likely settle back and finish hard. A threat. PHARALINE (10) peaks off a 2.3L defeat at the Sunshine Coast. Maps well and freshened, she can get into the finish. PRIDE OF SAVABELLA (5) is running out of chances but has placed third as favourite his last two. He will be doing his best work late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chief Of Staff appeals most.
