Golden Smile is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. MAGICON (2) struggled in tougher company this prep and should find this more to his liking. Up sharply in trip in the soft (7) going with a fading fifth over 2400m at Kembla Grange. Kept fresh again and expected to take a hand in the finish. MONTY BE QUICK (3) proven at this distance and looks well placed again with Stapleford's 2kg claim. Sat midfield and closed late over the unsuitable 1350m with a respectable third at Wyong. Can race handy and figure prominently. KAHRABA (7) bounced off her eye-catching sixth at Wyong with a dominant victory over 1812m at Port Macquarie. Deep into the prep and looks well weighted with Fitzgerald's 1.5kg claim. Value player who can test some of her more fancied rivals. GOLDEN SMILE (1) appreciated the class drop and extra trip when he demolished inferior opposition with a slick 7 len win over 2200m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Gets the right setup again and confidence is high. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,3,7,1.
