Reasonable tempo with Body Bob probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. DEMANDING MO (4) went well in the Listed National Sprint and then was beaten a whisker here this grade/track/trip. He will position forward from an inside gate, and McDougall stays aboard. Peaks today and can go one better. CRAVING MAGIC (3) missed a whisker in a rich contest at Goulburn over 1400m, quickly back on track. It was a big effort after settling rearward and he's won 3/4 over a mile. Maps well, and JVO remains in the saddle. Capable of going one better. LAST HOORAY (5) looked a run short in the Demanding Mo race. He can use the rail and has more to give. Lightly raced and will get every chance. BODY BOB (1) resumes and flies fresh. Has to lug top weight, but he's trialled well and winning rider Owen is reunited. PANIC (2) would be hard to roll at best and keep onside having his second start for the stable on a 5-day return. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Demanding Mo.
