Expecting Bethsheba to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. EXPLOSIVE TORPIDO (4) ready to peak fourth up after finishing a game third to most of these over this trip at Wyong. Dylan Gibbons retains the ride and gets her chance at the weights. HARLEX (1) improving gelding who will prove hard to get past late. Started hard in the market at his third run back when a fighting on pace second over 1000m at Wyong. Gets a similar setup for this and is sure to go close. OCTA DE LAGO (2) nice maiden win on debut at Goulburn, before heading to town when overrarcing and disappointing to run seventh over 1250m at Canterbury. Gets map favours and this looks more to his liking. OUR LITTLE STAR (3) scored a slick maiden victory last prep at Hawkesbury and strips fitter after resuming with a handy third over 1100m at Warwick Farm. Looks to have come back well and regular rider sticks. SUGGESTED PLAY: Explosive Torpido in a tight contest.
