Plenty of pace with Suits and Bonny Impact up front, pressured by Starton and Saxon Beach. BODMIN BOY (2) is back after a break of four months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1100m at this track. Should be hard to stop. STARTON (3) finished third over 1350m at Kununurra at his most recent appearance on August 30. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. SAXON BEACH (6) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second when resuming last time out over 1200m here. Has his share of ability and will prove hard to beat in this suitable race. REAL DIVINE (4) improved second-up last start but found just one better over 1200m at this circuit, beaten 2 lengths. Well placed and can figure in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,3,6,4.
