Genuine tempo with Condor to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Tricky sprint. BLACKBERRY BOMB (6) ran a solid race first up over 1200m at Caulfield Heath in a stronger race, beaten 1.4 lengths into fifth. She mixed her form last time in but the best of it reads well for this and she can hold a spot from the low gate. PACIFIC GLAMOUR (8) resumed with an easy maiden win on wet ground at Ballarat, scoring by 3.5 lengths. She can kick up from barrier one and her natural upside sees her firmly in the mix. AUCKLAND (2) is flying, winning his past four, all over 1000m. This is harder again going from a BM56 to a BM66 but he has to be respected. CONDOR (1) struggled last time but stuck on fairly well fresh and the 955m is right up his alley. PER IVY (7) won well at Pakenham last time and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blackberry Bomb to win.
