Doubt they will go too hard without a noted leader engaged. BURNING AMBITION (6) strengthened over the break and indicated a win was imminent after he closed late for a close up second over 1400m at Moree. Will run the trip and go close to getting off the mark. RAZOR'S MAGIC (11) improved sharply up on the speed with a gritty third over 1650m at Beaudesert. Will roll forward in a race devoid of speed and can give a ton of cheek. MOMENT (13) lightly raced filly fitter after two runs back. Ready for this trip and not without each way claims from the good draw. TURPIN'S TORMENT (4) unsuited back to the 1400m with a plugging tenth over 1400m at this track. Set to bounce back here with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,11,13,4.
