Cascade Mountain and Nature Boy can lead the small field. FULL OF SINCERITY (1) tough on pace stayer who maps to get the right run. Nailed late with the 60kg when a close second over 2020m in the Murwillumbah Cup Preview. Senior rider booked and doesn't have to improve much to win this. NATURE BOY (3) pulled up with a poor post recovery rate after working hard early from the outside gate when a fading eighth over 2500m at Ipswich. Gets a much better run today and saves his best for this track. SHERRIFF CODY (4) nearing his peak after catching the eye late when a solid fourth over 2020m at Murwillumbah. Has the figures to take this out. STYLEBENDER (5) racing in career best form and deserves his chance in this harder race. Has won over the 2100m and adept in all conditions. CASCADE MOUNTAIN (6) looks the pick of the rest on the quick back-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Full Of Sincerity to assert his class.
