Genuine tempo from Beat Hollow leading What A Weekend. SACRED TED (2) has been running on solidly in his last 3 starts, and even though he was only eighth at Ipswich 4 days ago, he was not far from the winner. He is backing up quickly, with some gear changes, and he is capable of taking this out. MIDNIGHT MIRACLE (7) was an easy maiden winner of her penultimate start, and then followed that effort up with a game third on a heavy track just over 3 weeks ago. The extra furlong is ideal, so stick with her. DOITLIKEMAXWELL (4) had a tough trip and dropped out in a far tougher field at Rockhampton just over 7 weeks ago. This assignment is more to his liking, and from a handy gate on a tight circuit, he is worth another chance. Each way value. ATLANTIC ROYAL (6) has been having no luck with his barrier draws lately, but isn't the worst in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sacred Ted on the quick backup is worth an each-way ticket.
