Looks a decent tempo with Eagle's Fire, Braveheart and Throw It Back leading the charge. The well-related BRAVEHEART (1) (full to G2 winner King Of Sparta) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top five at his past ten starts and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Gets a stack of weight relief with the 3kg claim and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Rates the testing material. WINCHMAN (2) got a well-deserved Gold Coast win last time out and will have derived a bunch of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Can go right on with the job now. POWDER MAN (3) had been thereabouts in tougher Sydney metro Highways before the spell and should find this assignment much more to his liking. Has to be included in calculations. THANKYOU HENRY (4) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome at the latest effort but the form prior was good enough for a race like this. Can bounce back. EAGLE'S FIRE (7) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,2,3,4.
