Strong pace from Outback Express, Olive Oyl and Donny's Boy, with Golden Grey and Rock Of Futura on their heels. OLIVE OYL (3) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts, but is honest overall and has been racing in open class lately. Well back in grade on last couple and gets chance to find winning form again. OUTBACK EXPRESS (4) was a winner two back then raced here a couple of days ago and was safely held. Better than that and has the claim again but needs to bounce back. GARDEN SUN (1) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race when he did his best work late and finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 2200m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. GOLDEN GREY (2) ran a better race last start, finishing 6 lengths away in seventh over 1600m at this track. Back in grade on recent form and gets chance.
