Walk Like A Man and Moana Gold will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. TITAN OF FURY (10) jumped in trip with a slashing sixth over 1890m at Newcastle on the quick back-up. Hard fit for this and can get off the mark at start eleven with the tongue-tie going on. MICROGRAVITY (6) racing well in the first prep and proven on the heavy surface. Got too far out of his ground at latest with a battling sixth over this trip at Scone. Finds a weaker race and the wide gate could be okay in the conditions. MOANA GOLD (7) finally got the job done at start twelve with a slick Super Maiden win over 1512m at Port Macquarie. Maps well again and can keep the momentum going. BRIDEGO (11) good on-pace gelding who can go one better today after finishing a narrow second over 1450m at Muswellbrook. Well-placed in this grade and will take catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,6,7,11.
