Moderate tempo expected with The Bear likely to find the front over Wild Gypsy and Home Zone. THE BEAR (4) had gotten better with each run this time in and that culminated with a solid victory at this track last time out. Gets 2kg off with the claim and can play a major role in the finish. RUINS OF ROME (1) boasts a win and a placing from two outings here at this circuit and will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the break. In the mix. The well-related WILD GYPSY (6) (half to G1 winner Wild Ruler) is yet to miss a place in three starts over this distance range and may earn some minor money with any luck from the wide draw. ROCHEDALE HERO (5) draws the inside marble and is sure to give backers a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 4,1,6,5.
