Back On De Quo and Prestige Pak to take up the running at a strong tempo. GEEGEE JET BY (1) came from well back to score an impressive win last start over 1218m at Kyneton, his first run in two months. Is now in the Nathan Sinclair stable and has again been given a good gap between runs. Recent Grafton trial winner who looks ready to hit the ground running for the new yard. CRITICAL TIME (4) worked home well to get up for third when resuming from a spell in a similar race to this at Port Macquarie last time out. Twice a winner when second-up. Draws a lovely gate and carries weight well. Poses a genuine threat. KYOGLE KID (6) defied the market to score in great style in a BM66 here at this trip recently. That was the second run following a 16-month absence so there should be further improvement to come. BACK ON DE QUO (3) resumes. Cruised to victory when returning last prep in a comparable race to this. Must be included. Progressive three-year-old PRESTIGE PAK (5) is another with genuine claims coming off an 18-week spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Geegee Jet By each-way in a competitive sprint.
