Solid tempo anticipated with Focus Point heading them off. BELGRANO (1) resumes from a spell of six months and is having his first outing for the Darryll Kell stable. Given the two trials and can sprint well fresh. FOCUS POINT (9) improving filly who gets her chance with the claim third-up. Stuck on well in the small field when second over 1200m here. Has a high cruising speed and gets the right run. MR USHER (2) covered ground in the run when a plugging eighth over 1600m at Canberra. Nose roll goes on and placed over this track and trip two-back. Genuine contender. LIBERTARIAN (7) the best of the remainder which to be honest isn't saying a great deal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Can't go past Belgrano.
