Just a modest tempo anticipated. It's hard to ignore the win of TRUE BLUE BONDI (8) last start when sitting on the speed from a wide barrier and sprinting away to win easily. He put 4.1L on his rivals there at just start 2, indicating he has above-average ability. Can sit handy to the speed again today and bring up back-to-back wins. WEMBANYAMA (4) hasn't lost a yard since arriving in the Mack Hall stable and is on the cusp of a drought-breaking win. He remains at 1400m today which may be a little niggle, but he rates highly on his two runs back this time in and he's sure to be doing his best work late in the piece. PRINCESS IN RED (1) steps up to the 1400m journey again fourth-up into the campaign and she's a winner at this distance previously. Gaerth's claim comes in handy and she maps for a lovely run. Has to be included. I'M NIPOTE (5) can improve second-up and out in distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: True Blue Bondi looks the one to beat.
