A strong tempo is assured with The Big Ticket and Think I'm Irish leading the charge. NAVY BUOY (3) produced a good set of figures at latest when fourth over 1500m at Newcastle. Has the upside to go on with it now. Will take holding out today. THINK I'M IRISH (6) looks close to a win at her fifth start for the new stable. Collared late when third over 1750m at Muswellbrook. Stays in the calculations. CALEDONIAN (1) hasn't looked likely this time in work, the latest offering a sixth over 1400m at Grafton. Blinkers go on and fitter in a suitable race gets his chance. BOLD SPLENDOR (4) hasn't won for a while, but is usually thereabouts. Fitter second up and worth throwing in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Navy Buoy will take stopping.
