Moderate pace with Rock The Machine taking up the running ahead of Shine Like It Does and Flash One Hey. GANGPLANK (1) proven at this distance range and strips fitter at his third run back. Went under narrowly at this course and distance five starts back in a stronger contest. Williams' claim appeals again from the low draw. Goes close. QUICK BUCK (5) jumped in trip when getting off the mark at start eleven with a tenacious win over 1715m at this track. Will keep improving and shapes as a leading contender. ROCK THE MACHINE (6) tough on pace stayer with his hoof on the till after finishing runner-up at his last two outings. Has the speed to slide across from the awkward gate and gets his chance. SHINE LIKE IT DOES (11) huge performance when jumping 845m in trip to stalk the speed for a courageous third over 2245m at this track. Fitter now and good enough to test these. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,5,6,11.
