Vocation to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. PRESSALONG (17) failed to make it three wins in succession when jumping in class for a disappointing last over 1200m at the Gold Coast in C4 grade last time out. Back to his right class and has excellent credentials on his home track. Goes close. WORTHY ESSGEE (7) kept fresh and will relish the drop in grade after running fourth over 1200m at Kilcoy on February 18. Right in this if he can find the form he displayed earlier in the prep. MISS MAZERATI (5) holding her form well and adept in all conditions. Will appreciate the claim again after rocketing late for a game fourth over 1007m at Taree. Goes close on the backup. EGOTISTIC (4) returned from a lengthy spell with the big weight when a tenacious third over 1106m at Grafton. Her second up record is just as strong and she's right in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 17,7,5,4.
