Moderate pace only with Gold Classic leading Whatta Mission. GEM OF SCOTS (6) broke the maiden status here at the latest effort and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Winning hoop Murphy sticks in the saddle and should be going very close again. VEGAMEISTER (1) is another to get the maiden out of the way at Townsville last start and faces a lot of similar rivals in this contest. Can go back-to-back. SUPID DATE (7) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and will be rock-hard fit for this. Top-three credentials. MISTER TIA (4) has a win and a placing from two spins around this circuit and is a must for the multiples. GOLD CLASSIC (3) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,1,7,4.
