Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Line Of Law. DESTINY'S BOUNTY (2) will be helped by the claim and some important scratchings. Both recent runs have been sound and is down in the weights a little and drawn well. Should be competitive. CASTLEBAR ROAD (1) is a short course specialist and with the 3kg off isn't badly placed despite still having the 63kg. Loves the short trip and has a good record at this track and distance. ROTHGATE (5) will find this a bit easier than last time and given his overall record can be afforded another chance. SMART AND DAPPER (3) resumes and is capable of running a cheeky race fresh. SUPER SIOUX (4) will need some luck but can't ignore. SUGGESTED PLAY: Destiny's Bounty to win.
