Fast tempo likely from Now Is The Hour going forward from out wide, with Concession joining in. The well-related NOW IS THE HOUR (5) (full to 2xG3 winner and G2 placed Inkaruna) grows a leg for hoops Jones who has three wins and a second from just four steers and has been racing very consistently this time in work. Looks the one they all have to run down. AXIUS (1) returned in fine fashion with a solid Randwick victory and Rawiller sticks in the saddle following that first-up win. Can go right on with the job now. SA galloper CASH (12) has been well in the betting in all four starts to date and where there's smoke there's fire. Include in calculations. MAYFAIR (16) is a bit hit or miss but is more than capable enough on his day. A better showing would not shock. TRUE AMOR (8) is usually thereabouts and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Now Is The Hour to continue the consistent run of form.
