|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo with Highland Rahy leading the way. ARMOR GOLDEN EAGLE (2) jumped a $2.80 favourite last start and bolted in over this track and trip, running away to win by 3.8L. He's trialled strongly since that performance and he's gone to another level since stepping out to this distance. Maps to get every chance and can go back-to-back. ALL ROUND WINNER (9) won two back before a 1.5L defeat at this track and trip and rates highly on his recent form. Bentley has options from the draw and if he can sit a touch closer than he did last time out, he'll be very hard to hold out. FANTASTIC FUN (8) is better than he showed last time out when behind Armor Golden Eagle. The inside draw suits him perfectly and it wouldn't surprise to see him turn the tables. SOLID WIN (1) is another who disappointed last start but rates highly on his prior form. Bowman sticks having won 2/3 aboard and he can put his best foot forward.
