Solid tempo with Chest Of Gold leading from Knobelas and Roadcone. Keen to see KNOBELAS (9) step out again. She's always promised plenty and resumed with a very smart win at Pakenham, coming through the field and sprinting away to score a soft two length victory. She could end up being a stakes level mare in the future and should get every chance tracking the speed from the inside gate. DARK SIMBA (8) ran very well fresh from too far back, sent up to Sydney last time and doing okay in a bunched finish where not much made ground. Stays at 1500m which is a little knock but he's ready to win otherwise. ROADCONE (4) can be an improver third up. He led easily and bolted in third up last time in and is suited rising in trip. CHEST OF GOLD (6) is consistent and won a decent race at Cranbourne last time. He can give a sight from PRESSER (1) who keeps racing well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Knobelas to win.
