Genuine tempo from Firealarm leading My Diamond Boy.
FIREALARM (8) has won just once in 33 starts which is concerning, but his recent efforts in better company have been strong. Led for the judge before finding a couple better in a BM58 over 2100m at the Beaumont track last start. Looks beautifully in with 54kgs after Hull's claim. This might be his day. VEGA SICILIA (11) faced the starter for only the third time last Saturday and did a reasonable job to hang on for fourth in a similar race to this at Port Macquarie. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and is open to more improvement that the rest of these. FLYCATCHER (2) won his only race 33 months ago. A little one-paced when midfield over 1512m at Port Macquarie last weekend. Can improve out to this distance. PIEDI VELOCI (6) beat a few of today's key rivals home at Port Macquarie seven days ago. Enjoys a soft run from the good draw and should be in the finish again. EXTERNUS (1) returned to form last start so although back in trip he cannot be dismissed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Firealarm.
