Good early pressure with Beached As Bro or Goats On Oats likely to take up the running. Although the emergency, FIRST DAY (13) is the highest-rated runner in the race and will be the testing material if he gains a start. Been beaten reasonable margins of late, but he's been tackling tougher races than most rivals here and gets his best chance at a fourth career win. TAUPO TIGER (5) is another down in grade, will be better for two runs at this trip and draws perfectly. GRUNNETTAN (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 2200m at Ballarat Synthetic after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GOATS ON OATS (7) boasts more consistent form than most rivals here and on the home track, where he finished second as recently as three starts ago, has to be given serious consideration. DANISH HUSSAR (8) finished 6 lengths away in 7th last time over 1750m at Canberra. Steps up in journey today, but is down in grade and for that reason he warrants thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: First Day to win.
