Reasonable tempo with Celui probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. GETAFIX (15) underrated gelding capable of going on with it this prep. Chased hard with the 59.5kg when a narrow third over 1300m here last December. Impressed in both trials and will take stopping on the limit. IRON MAN (11) aptly named gelding resuming. Raced with distinction last time in and his two searching trials suggest he's primed for a first up victory. Visors go on and the tempo suits. SHARP SHOCK (14) eye catching return from near last on the turn when a gritty second over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Comes to hand quickly and stays in the mix with the big weight drop. BALLROOM BELLA (5) well backed on resumption when getting the job done in easier company over 1150m at Randwick Kensington. Tougher today from the draw and place prospects look best. CELUI (3) proven at Group level and stamped his class when a fast finishing winner over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Stays in the mix. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 15,11,14,5.
