Just a modest tempo anticipated. APACHE SUNRISE (12) is knocking on the door of a maiden win having placed in her past three efforts, beaten very narrowly here last time out. She'll get every hope on speed and looks tough to beat. DONE MY JOB (2) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track over 1400m. He's looming closer to a win and draws to potentially sit closer. Hard to hold out. TESTY NIC (10) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. He can improve third up from a soft draw. LA REEL DEAL (7) was well beaten on debut at Camperdown but resumes here and can take a big step forward off that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Apache Sunrise to win.
