Genuine pace with Bethsheba taking up the running ahead of Explosive Torpido and Show County. HARLEX (1) progressive gelding who shed his maiden status in good style first up, before gripping on late when fourth to Shropshire Lad over 1100m at Scone. Comes out of a strong race and expected to go close. EXPLOSIVE TORPIDO (4) handy mare ready to win after leading them up with the 59kg when a fading second over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Gibbons' sticks and can take up a position from the gate. PRATT (2) back for his second prep when demolishing his rivals with a solid on pace victory over 900m at Newcastle. Gets in light with Osmond's claim and can play a leading role again. BETHSHEBA (8) fitter after two runs back and breaking her maiden status here two back. One for the minors. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harlex to bounce back.
