Under The Limit has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. NORTHERN PRIDE (1) has hit the top four at his past three starts in harder company and looks to be building up to another victory. Is two from two around this circuit and should be right there when the whips are cracking. UNDER THE LIMIT (2) grows a leg for hoop Kliese who has three wins from just four steers. Rarely puts in a poor one and can make his presence felt. TURN BIRD (5) was a touch plain at the latest effort but go on the solid Mackay win two back. Can bounce right back without surprising. DILLINGER (3) will be rock-hard fit for this and may trouble the judge with any luck in running. SUGGESTED PLAY: Northern Pride to get a well-deserved victory.
