Expecting Prime Impact to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. PRIME IMPACT (3) doesn't win out of turn but has been far from disgraced when tackling tougher opposition this campaign. Easier this time and gets some weight off with the 1.5kg claimer engaged. Bold showing is anticipated. CENOTES (5) made it two on the bounce last start at Tamworth with another comfortable win. Up in grade now but is lowly weighted and is expected to take plenty of stopping. Great chance to bring up the hat-trick. CASINO KID (1) hasn't offered a yelp in his last two starts in town. Easier this time and is aided at the weights with the claimer on. Right in this if he brings his A-game. KING KIKAU (2) has only warmed to his task late in his two resuming efforts. Nearing peak now and is among the main hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Prime Impact.
