Genuine tempo from Northumbria leading Well Rested. MAJOR LOOK (11) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than the recent Sunny Coast outings. Will be rock-hard fit for this and has the class to build on recent efforts. ORCA (4) resumes here but has won when first-up before and is a two-time winner at this track. Can run a race while fresh. THE BRILL BUILDING (5) has placed two of three over this trip and gets the services of Butler in the irons. In the mix. NORTHUMBRIA (3) goes well for Satherley who has a win and three placings from seven steers. Capable of a strong showing. BARELLO (7) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may trouble the judge from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Major Look.
