Moderate tempo expected with Magenta Shores likely to find the front over Hard Jakka and Share The Joy. WAEREA (1) smart Bivouac gelding who kept finding first-up with the 59.5kg for a narrow second over 1200m at Wyong in BM64 class. Maps to stalk the pace and looks too classy for his lot. HARD JAKKA (4) has a fitness edge over most of these and gets a better set-up for this on the firmer track. Went back from the draw and found the 1150m too short when seventh at Illawarra Grange. No shock to see him bounce back. GALACTIC FORCE (3) has gone to a new level this prep and holding his form deep into the campaign. Stalked the speed in the small field with a narrow second over 1350m at Wyong. Will go back from the gate and relish the fast tempo. Each way. SHARE THE JOY (7) specked in betting first-up with a surprise Maiden win at start thirty-four over 1300m at this track. Clearly come back well and stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Waerea has the class edge to get the better of these.
