Strong pace from Takethemoneyandrun, First Embrace and Peerless Son, with Mega Pixel and Pie Chart on their heels. DRAGON BLOOD (10) is a first-starter by Pinatubo from Obsidian Dragon who has been an outstanding producer including winners at black type level. Has come along nicely in his lead-up work and is expected to make a bright start. FIRST EMBRACE (6) raced handy on debut last start when sent out a firm fav at Scone but couldn't finish off as expected. Open to improvement and keeps gun hoop in Bullock aboard. STREET FORCE (8) returns after four months in the paddock Has trialled well leading into this and rates highly on best form. A bright return wouldn't surprise. MEGA PIXEL (2) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second at Gilgandra. Has good early toe so can spear across from the wide alley and give backers a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dragon Blood to make a bright start.
