Fast pace assured with Swedish Glitter, Russian Ember and Smart 'N' Ritzy leading the charge. SWEDISH GLITTER (4) finished third two runs back at Bedgerabong then improved last time out to score by 3L as favourite over 800m at Tottenham. Doesn't strike a deep race and can keep the ball rolling. PRESS GAZE (3) was better last start when fourth over 1280m at Orange five weeks ago. Keeps JPH and is a likely improver with strong prospects. PONTOON PRINCE (5) get the inside draw for his return. Looking for a strong showing. BRING THE RAIN (2) dug deep to score by a head and shed his maiden tag last start. Is open to further improvement at start three and should be sharpened by the blinkers. Don't dismiss easily. SUGGESTED PLAY: Swedish Glitter gets the nod.
