Hot tempo expected from Wild Beau and Patriotic King. WILD BEAU (1) is a very progressive gelding who can really turn it on when he finds the front early in his races. He gave nothing else a chance from the get-go here 4 weeks ago, and with the aid of the pole position again, he can repeat the dose. BLACK ZOUS (4) put in a solid effort fresh up over 1100m here and then faded in the run home over 1300m a fortnight ago. He is better placed over the shorter trips for now as his fitness increases, and he can bounce straight back into the money here. RUSTIC BOOM (2) is heading the right way with his form and hit the line nicely for fourth here 10 days ago. He has a good draw and is ready to run into a top 3 position now. JUICE BOX (6) has held her form since making the move from Victoria, and she has each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Win bet Wild Beau.
