Plenty of early pace on show, particularly from Lucky Dollar, Lord Wylie and Kumemori. ANDY COOGLE (8) is heading the right way with his form and his last start third has since been franked. Apprentice Nirvan Nastili takes the 2.5kg off his back which will assist his cause. He is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome the wide draw and he should be hard to peg back. JOSHUA HOTSNAKE (5) is racing well enough. He likes it here over the trip. He is having his peak run today and is one of the leading contenders. KIMBALL O'HARA (4) was given a peach of a ride when winning his last start over this distance at Scottsville. He returns from a well-deserved spell. If fit, he should finish in the money. KUMEMORI (3) is better than his last start here over the mile on the turf. He has been freshened and is unbeaten from two starts here over this trip on the poly track. He will be looking to keep that record intact.
