A solid tempo on the cards with Angel City leading the way. THE CRISTAL (4) excellent return when she closed quickly for a sound second over 1500m at Hawkesbury. Returned good figures on that occasion and looks hard to hold out in this weaker assignment. JAGERBOMB (3) Contributer gelding who was strong through the line on debut with a slashing third over 1300m at Wyong. Will appreciate the extra distance and looks the main danger. ANGEL CITY (8) showed good early speed on debut when a plugging second over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Will relish the extra ground and place prospects look best. MY GREEK GOD (2) staying bred gelding returning from a lengthy break. Came to the end of his prep when he covered ground and never looked a winning prospect finishing last over 1500m at Newcastle. Fitted with the two 1200m trials and placed here four runs back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,3,8.
