Byron's Farm and Joy Of The World should set a strong gallop. PRESSNELL (3) finally lived up to his trial form when winning his maiden fresh up at Dubbo very easily. He has needed time to mature, and is now expected to go right on with the job. MICRO MIKKI (2) franked an easy trial win with a nose victory fresh up at Narromine 2 weeks ago. He would have taken a lot from that run, and has the scope to be right in the finish again. BYRON'S FARM (4) won fresh up here before finding the quick backup against him at Dubbo just over 5 weeks ago. He will be spot-on now and can bounce straight back into the money here. CRUSADER KINGS (1) won on debut at Mornington. He had another Victorian start before having a spell, and will be resuming for a new stable this time. Use the market as your best guide. JOY OF THE WORLD (6) capped off some good form with a well-deserved maiden win at Bathurst 18 days ago. Include in all bets. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pressnell to win.
