Slick pace with Toulon Factor finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. LINE OF FIRE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2100m at Tuncurry, beaten 5.5 lengths into ninth. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. YORKEL (8) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't feature last start when fifth over 1400m at Bathurst after being in the firing line on the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. MACLEAY (2) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish fifth over 1400m at Moree. Was outdashed but got going late and looks suited by the extra ground. Rates highly on best figures. TOULON FACTOR (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Mendooran when tenth. Nicely placed to find some form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,8,2,5.
