Good early pace with Monte Kahuna, Embolden and Hotzino matching motors. OCTAVIO (6) finds a fairly weak staying race today and expected to bounce back after disappointing in tougher company when ninth over 2220m here on August 20. Go on solid recent efforts when assessing his chances. WICKED GAMES (12) holding his form well and a win looks imminent. Strong through the line when a close third over 2200m at Scone on August 30. This looks easier and the blinkers come off and the winkers go on. Expected to play a leading role. DON QUIXOTE (1) thereabouts of late and total forgive from the wide draw when closing late to finish sixth over 2200m at the Sunshine Coast on September 1. Can stalk the speed here from the good gate. Go close. THE VOCALIST (13) lightly raced Shocking gelding with upside. Stepped out in trip for the first time when third over 2200m at Ipswich on August 23. Leading rider booked and capable of taking this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,12,1,13.
