Expecting Gamp to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. Tricky race with plenty of chances. TUSCANY (4) total forgive at his first run back when covered ground from the wide gate to finish a fading seventh over 1100m at Randwick Kensington. Key jockey change today and ready to bounce back. BANKNOTE HUSTLER (11) resumes from a spell of five months and gelded over the break. Failed to make an impression in his two starts in Listed and Group company at his first prep. Has impressed in both trials and expected to figure prominently. OHOPE (3) progressive colt resuming. Outclassed in the VRC Sires', then back in grade when a fighting fourth over 1300m at Warwick Farm last April. Looks forward enough with the two trials and has a host of gear changes for this. NARCISSIST (12) returns from a lengthy break. Had to go back from the outside gate on debut when a plugging seventh over 1000m at Gosford back on October 26, 2023. Given the two trials and maps to get a soft run. Stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tuscany in a strong contest.
