Solid tempo with Reel Torque possessing enough dash to find the front. BONDI PROPHET (5) led and gave a kick only to be swamped by the placegetters close to home in a Class 1 over 1280m at Muswellbrook two back. Three winners have come from that race. Failed over a longer trip subsequently but back to six furlongs he looks the one to beat. WORKING CAPITAL (9) is racing well and lines up for the third week running. Chimed in late to grab third last Sunday over 1190m at Grafton. Just one win from forty-one is a worry - each-way the right option. GOLDEN BREEZE (10) has struggled of late in better races. Can turn things around. GREY EFFECTS (3) has had one run back from a break and was well held in sixth over 1106m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Fitter and can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Bondi Prophet.
