Cracking tempo with Mission House and Rubunkar leading the way. RHEGION (7) has hit a purple patch of late with two wins and two seconds from his past four starts with both those victories coming around this circuit. Wiggins stays on top and looks the one they all have to run down. OUTSMARTED (3) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Worth another chance. SAND 'N' POWER (4) has placed four of five over this distance range and will strip fitter second-up from the break. A must for the multiples. ARCTIC BEAR (8) gets in well at the weights with the claim and may trouble the judge with any luck in running. MISSION HOUSE (6) next best from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,3,4,8.
