Hot tempo expected from Mammoth Mountain and Firealarm. SEETHING CHUCK (3) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Port Macquarie, with a win as public elect over 1800m at Wauchope two weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Finds a tougher race but another win beckons. BATTLEDANCE (7) was in the money two starts back at Port Macquarie but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths, at Port Macquarie over 1500m after being in contention on the turn. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. VENOM WOLF (5) hasn't missed a place in three tries at this track and trip, running on to win in the last visit three back. EASTOWIN (10) has switched yards since finishing eighth a week-and-a-half ago over 2370m at Grafton. One of the genuine hopes in the race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,7,5
