Hot pace certain with Pete The Snoop, Forcefilly and Toy Prince keen to take up the running. This is tricky and the betting will be instructive. RUSTIC TZAR (3) resumed at Eagle Farm and needed the outing. He was only beaten 2.2L at Doomben three back and was heavily beaten at Gatton before the break. He maps well and is much better suited today. Fitter and he finds the right race. NEEDAWINNA (6) resumes and was beaten just 1.3L at Ipswich her only start last preparation. That's good form and stepping up to the longer sprint shouldn't be an issue. She will have come on and Cahill is a positive jockey booking. DARLING TAKE CARE (7) was on speed at Grafton first up beaten 1.9L. Fitter now and maps for a soft run. She can make the finish. FORCEFILLY (9) won a trial and found a placing at Gatton on debut. She has an awkward gate but will be naturally improved. Sits down in the weights and is likely to race well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Rustic Tzar.
