Genuine tempo with Phere The Warrego and Steventown up front. MACEDON MISSION (5) wasn't disgraced in G3 company last time out and will find this assignment much more to his liking. Must be included in calculations. PHERE THE WARREGO (7) looked good saluting at Toowoomba first-up before not being too far away at Listed level last start. Top-three credentials. ALTO LUNA (6) went down by the narrowest of margins over this track and trip at the latest effort and looks to be building up to a maiden victory. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should give a sight at odds. SAXON SPIRIT (9) broke the maiden status here last start and will have derived a bunch of confidence from that victory. Solid top-three prospects. STEVENTOWN (8) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Macedon Mission.
