Solid tempo with several going forward headed by The Final Word. DELAGO LAD (4) was a dominant winner last time over 1100m at this track, getting home by 2.25 lengths. Has won two of last three and although a seasoned sprinter is in top form. Should be poised just off the lead. Will prove tough to beat. LIMITED RISK (6) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1.2 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Ready to win and gets chance. CONVINCEBILITY (3) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Darwin over 1100m. Speedy galloper overdue for a win and will take catching. BEYOND READY (1) ran a better race when second-up last start, finishing 4 lengths away in fourth over 1200m at this track. Goes well course and distance and will be winding up late. THE FINAL WORD (8) has a low draw and is expected to take catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Delago Lad.
