Just a moderate tempo headed by Tip Top Timing, Ivan's Hero and Kingdom Of Logres. The local LUNAR LOVER (3) was spelled 239 days and resumed with a long-neck defeat at Gosford over this trip. He's promising and is sure to improve off that. He will race over longer but looks well placed to take this out. IVAN'S HERO (4) led and spiked his figures winning a 72 at Rosehill and then was caught wide with no cover at Canterbury in similar company. Drops back a couple of levels and is a threat. OTONO (5) had an excuse two back at Hawkesbury but the form each side of that reads well enough. Has a handy 2kg claim in an easier assignment and has claims if the splits come. This is a step-up for DYNAMIC ONE (6), but he ran a good number when winning two back at Gundagai. Comes to town with Berry booked and is worth consideration at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Lunar Lover.
