Foo Fighter to take up the running with Tawfiq Tom and Imarealamerican close at hand. IMAREALAMERICAN (1) made significant progress last start with a step up in distance, boxing on well to finish second in a $50k maiden over 1400m at Wellington. Won't find this quite as tough and the extra trip helps. Ready to break the ice. FOO FIGHTER (7) has been freshened up by Matthew Dunn since a tiring eighth over the mile at Eagle Farm a month ago. Returned a couple of nice figures in slightly longer races than this at Grafton earlier in the prep. Winning chance if ready to show his best. PRINCE IS GAME (9) stoked up late to grab third when returning from a spell over 1312m at Taree recently. Has scope to improve off that run so keep him in mind. TAWFIQ TOM (5) started warm favourite but found a couple better when resuming on a heavy track here last start. Better for that run and should give a good account. NEVIIM (2) will be better for the run but can sneak into the frame first-up from a 131-day lay-off. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Imarealamerican.
