Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Exolent Choice.
GUAC ON (5) is having his first run for the new stable but will find this easier than the south east QLD races he was competing in when last in work. Should get a gun run in transit from gate three and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. GAMADALE NIP (1) is a consistent commodity who has hit the top-five at his past eight starts and will be rock-hard fit for this. Right in this contest. NORTHERNONTAP (2) loves this track and trip with four wins and three seconds from just nine attempts and is usually thereabouts. Top-three candidate. EXOLENT CHOICE (4) is a bit hit or miss but is more than capable enough on his day. Solid claims on best figures. VERY GOOD (11) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,1,2,4.
