Strong tempo with Hayek, Cumboogle and Denman Force leading the charge. HAYEK (6) Sydney-trained gelding resuming. Up quickly in grade with a fading fifth in the small field over 1100m at Hawkesbury in BM64 grade last October. Primed for this with the two good trials and has the speed to overcome the wide gate. Go close. BOLO MISS (10) consistent mare who looks ready for this tougher contest. Launched late from back in the field with a slashing win over 1000m at Dubbo. Leading contender who looks to have more to offer. SELHURST PARK (12) back in class with a slick on-pace win over 1200m at Moruya. Confidence is high for this and not to be overlooked in this stronger contest. DENMAN FORCE (11) handy gelding who looks to be heading in the right direction. Rewarded for his consistency last start with a tough win over 1000m at Orange. Maps well and not without top-three claims. LINE OF LAW (5) racing well on the Picnic circuit and look for her late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hayek will take catching first-up.
