Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Charlina and Desi Emperor can be prominent. DESI EMPEROR (3) two runs back have been okay and drops further in weight from the good gate. Knocked up late in a stronger contest when fifth over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Penza sticks and will take catching. BODE AKUNA (5) drifted back early and took good ground off the winner from last on the turn when fourth at Wyong. Top-three player who races best with the runs spaced. SUNDAY TYCOON (8) appreciated the better gate over today's course and distance with a comfortable victory second-up. Has the speed to overcome the awkward gate and play a leading role again. CENTURY SONG (1) talented sprinter resuming with a good record on his home track. Shouldered the 60.5kg for a dominant win in the soft (7) going over this track and trip last January. Primed with the two trials and no shock to see him finish over the top of these. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,5,8,1.
