Plenty of pace with Raetihi and Lady Townson up front, pressured by Tizso Fab and Moktaffy. DEFERENTIAL (5) was well beaten in stronger company two starts back then found a better race last time and scored dominantly over 1200m at Mackay. Can keep the ball rolling. DARLING CLEMENTINE (6) is as consistent as they come and loves it at this venue. Found a couple better last start at this track over the mile. Sure to be very competitive again. TIZSO FAB (4) showed good speed to stalk the leader before drawing clear to score by a neck here last time out. Will push forward again and is sure to make his presence felt. MOKTAFFY (1) has been racing well without winning. Gets some help under the big weight with the 2kg claimer back on. Doesn't have to improve much to be there at the business end again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Deferential.
