Genuine tempo with the speedy Off Shaw leading the way. TAKE THE RAP (4) is a lightly raced gelding with a smart record and only recent unplaced runs have come at Randwick. Trial winner leading in and should be very hard to beat in this field. JUST GOOGLE ME (9) has a good record at this track and worth forgiving last start failure at Corowa. Go on handy placing here three runs back at the 1000m trip and he's one of the main chances. MR MOPPETT (2) posted another win when sitting on speed and proving too strong at Narrandera a month ago. Can show up again. SOLVERE (5) and KAHAWATY (6) are worth including in the each-way chances on their best efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Take The Rap to win.
