Genuine pace with Bondi Prophet taking up the running ahead of Champagne Hero and Nay Pee Cee. SQUEEZEBOX (1) was excellent first-up at Wyong then might have been a bit flat when easily accounted for in third over this distance at Kembla last start. Fitter now so expect a bit more resilience. KONING (5) raced on the pace but couldn't maintain the pressure when resuming over 1200m at Kembla last time out. More at home over this sort of trip second-up and he does race well at Newcastle. EMILIA JANE (6) has settled rearwards and made some late impression in her two runs this prep, both over much shorter journeys. Watch for a much better performance this time over a bit more ground. ERINA (4) appreciated the step up in distance last start when a game third over 1400m at Kembla. Has only raced three times and is open to plenty of improvement. NAY PEE CEE (9) hasn't been far off them in his three runs this time in work. Peaking now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Squeezebox to win.
