Genuine tempo from Capital Cheval leading Mandate. FIGHTING FOR GOLD (2) resumes and flies fresh. Enjoys the track and trip and has placed in a recent trial here. Hard to beat with average luck from the awkward gate. CAPITAL CHEVAL (3) races forward and has just been nudged out here at his last three. Has 3.5kg weight relief today and that brings him right into it. BAYBOUGG (4) peaks and brings strong from Hobart. She has three starts here for a single placing but is worth another chance. LION'S TOOTH (8) was close up here twice before the plain run at Hobart. Has the leading jockey aboard today and needs to be kept onside. GARCON D'ESPOIR (1) may need it longer now, but the first-up win was good. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fighting For Gold if the betting suggests stable confidence.
