Plenty of pace likely from Old Gold, Marrero and Bitter Spirit battling for the lead from Cascia. OLD GOLD (6) just missed the placings at Townsville when resuming and will have come on from that hit-out. Has placed over this course and distance and this is not an overly strong affair. Rates the testing material against this line-up. BITTER SPIRIT (2) resumes here but has revved up for this with a recent trial placing and gets the services of Cormack to navigate from the outside draw. Can make his presence felt while fresh. AUGUST JOE (1) is at the races for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Respect any market confidence. CASCIA (9) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,2,1,9.
