Capo Strada or Master Of Rewards to lead the small field. SHAMEDY (2) returns over a pet trip and handles all conditions. Has a strong turn of foot on his day, so if they can utilise the inside alley he will take plenty of holding out. BOW (6) hasn't been able to break through for a while but is knocking on the door, only beaten narrowly last time at Coffs Harbour. Can keep the momentum rolling and is nicely placed to break the run of outs. IN THE FINE PRINT (8) showed improvement second-up at Grafton without threatening. Fitter again and is drawn much kinder this time. In the mix. BETTER BE NORDY (3) has struggled so far this prep but has been sent back to the trials with 34 days between runs where he has jumped out well. Rates highly on best figures and gets 2kgs off with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shamedy to win.
