Very keen early battle with Flying Sultan and Mafia matching motors and there are a few others that can keep them busy. BOSTON ROCKS (4) has raced on the speed and battled on well to finish in or about the placings at his four runs this prep, all in Saturday company. Drawn to enjoy a perfect run and back in this grade he looks poised to grab a well-deserved win. MAFIA (2) worked hard to find the lead after an ordinary jump then the effort told late over 1000m at Warwick Farm last time out. Star provincial performer but has struggled in town consistently. This looks a nice race, so he is worth another chance. FIRE STAR (8) settled midfield and couldn't improve last Wednesday over 1000m at the Kensington track. Very fit now and the extra 100m suits. Capable of taking this out. RAVENCLAW (7) is fresh from a five-month spell. Generally needs a run before he hits his straps - the engagement of McDonald is the reason he must come under notice. EYE PEA OH (9) hasn't won for 11 months but is finding the line well in similar races and is worth each-way consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very keen on Boston Rocks.
