Pearly Nuggett and Twist Of Gold can be prominent. SUNSHINE TAFE (2) was far from her best when resuming in testing conditions again tougher company. Should find this a fair bit easier and is already a track and trip winner. Expect her to settle of the early speed and be busting through late. DIEGO DYNAMITE (3) is flying with back-to-back wins here. Nottle sticks with a key claim. No reason he can't make it three on the bounce. TWIST OF GOLD (5) is another in form, fighting hard to get the verdict here last start. Will look to hunt forward from the draw and should give backers a sight. PEARLY NUGGETT (1) also scored over the track and trip last time and boasts a strong record, adding to her impressive record here. Must be respected. NATURAL GEM (6) closed off strongly into third last start over 1100m and is a solid top-three contender again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Sunshine Tafe.
