Solid tempo with Grinzinger Moon leading from Big Swinger and Just For Show. Great little race. BIG SWINGER (1) brings the obvious formline having been heavily supported in the G2 Arrowfield Sprint at Randwick last time out. That was off the back of some booming late sectionals to win at Pakenham first up. They've reset the campaign and come here off seven weeks and his class is hard to go past. That said, JUST FOR SHOW (3) looks a danger at each way odds. Loved the return conceding weight to rivals here when beaten half a length in strong time. Drawn well, the slight rise to 1200m is perfect. SNACK BAR (4) was heavily backed but may not have handled the wet at Eagle Farm last time. He can bounce back. FLYER (5) has claims on a last-start second to Cleo Cat. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taking 1,3,4 in a boxed quinella.
