Genuine tempo with the speedy Hurco leading the way. HE'S OUR BOY (3) has been thereabouts in four runs to date. He worked home well at Wagga last time out and can track up behind the speed from the inside gate. Rates well and shapes as one of the hardest to beat. COVERED IN CASH (1) is yet to break through after five starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1300m at Cranbourne in a tougher race. Blinkers go on now and with any luck from the gate he can figure. WITHOUT FAIL (6) was close up on debut and is in the mix. Debutant HOTEI SENSHI (7) has been well supported in early markets and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing He's Our Boy.
