Certain to be a strong tempo with Gold Lightning, Dazzling Bobby and Twelveunder leading the charge. BIG BOPPER (1) stuck on well behind a smart one at this track and trip when on the quick turnaround last start. The inside draw helps his chances again and if he's able to replicate what he did last time out, he can get the job done. WEAPONIZE (9) hasn't won for a long time, but hasn't been far away in recent efforts and looks to be building towards something. The inside draw can see him within striking distance in the run and he's not to be discounted. GOLD LIGHTNING (3) is better than she showed last time out in a disappointing performance. Her form prior was very good and the inside draw may be a key to her chances. Can be prominent in the run and be in this for a long way. KARRI ON (8) is in the mix on her recent form. KIMBERLEY CURRENCY (5) can be in the finish on his return to the races. SUGGESTED PLAY: Big Bopper can get the job done this time.
