Genuine pace with Belle Inferno finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. EXONUMIA (3) doesn't win out of turn but did a good job last start to finish a close second at Hillston. Stepping up a level this time but strips fitter third-up and on his best form he's a leading player. BELLE INFERNO (6) showed good early muster and fought on gamely into the placings here. Is sure to push forward again and give herself every chance. MY CRACKLING (8) comes through tougher racing, so should appreciate dropping back to this level. Was good on the dirt three back at Streaky Bay when finishing second. Draws well and can bounce back sharply. HOT OFF (5) scored two back at Broken Hill but was below his best last time when sixth. Mixing his form but has peaks that can give this a big shake. ELEGANT MAN (4) has been well below his best in his last two but is worth keeping onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Exonumia.
