Solid tempo with The Beast possessing enough dash to find the front. YEAH BUDDY (5) has placed nine of 11 overall including three from three over this distance range. Nicely placed in this contest and can bounce back from the recent failure. MIND BATTLEFIELD (7) finished second last start over 1000m at Dubbo, beaten only a nose. In the right race this time and is a winning hope with the 1.5kg claim. THE BEAST (4) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this calibre. Can feature while fresh. UNIONISTA (10) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Keep very safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,7,4,10.
