It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. FORTISSIMO (9) justified the heavy support on debut when a comfortable winner over 1000m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Will keep improving as he gets up in trip and capable of winning again. NEW PHAROAH (1) rewarded for his consistency with a gritty maiden victory over 1400m at Tamworth. Has since won a 1000m Tamworth trial and comes here in peak condition. Main danger. CALL ME TERRY (5) has his hoof on the till after finishing in the minor money at his last two outings. Attacked the line late when second over 1600m at Dubbo. Capable of finishing over the top of them if they overdo it up front. IVY DIVA (8) back in class and worth noting her lone win came at this track. Copped a bump at the start and failed to threaten when tenth over 1200m at Tamworth. Best figures can see her run into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fortissimo to win again.
