Genuine tempo with the speedy Sipping Shamus leading the way. Canberra-trained STRAIGHT FIRE (5) peals off a narrow defeat over 1600m at the Sapphire Coast. Placed at Wagga prior and from an inside barrier and with some weight relief, is well placed SIPPING SHAMUS (3) bounced straight back into the winners' stall, winning over 1400m at Scone. She will lead or box-seat from an inside barrier and will get every chance to see out the 1600m. BLAZING GURU (10) is a former Victorian who is a better chance than his two runs for the new yard suggest. Missed a whisker over this distance at Donald three back and that stacks right up. CROWN LEGEND (4) peaks and is racing well. Did a good job from a wide gate at Mudgee last time, and he's won this course/distance. GREEN RUN (8) always puts in and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Straight Fire to win.
