Sizzling pace from Mr Assertive, Nordic Strike and Foxenberg locking horns ahead of Grouse Mountain and Room For Bingo. Open 1000m race with plenty of speed. NORDIC STRIKE (3) is race-fit and going well, just finding one better last start at Sandown Hillside when taking a sit. Jabez Johnstone sticks and he should take plenty of catching again. MR ASSERTIVE (4) resumes. He was racing in good form last time in and some of his 1000m form reads well for this. He's speedy but tactics from the wide gate will be interesting. BLISS BOMB (11) was poor last time at Sandown Hillside but is better than that and is lightly raced. Onto a better surface here should see improvement. NICEREINE (8) just found one better first up at Sale, just his third career start. Zahra goes on from a soft gate and he'll take holding out. LOGAM (10) can bounce back similar to Bliss Bomb out of the same race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nordic Strike on top.
