Good tempo expected with Hellcibell, Von Bee and More Love rolling forward. NORTH OF ELI (11) returned in fine fashion with a handy second at Ipswich and has saluted when second-up before. Ready to find his best form now. MISTER BIANCO (7) has placed two from three over this journey and draws perfectly for Rodd in gate two. Definite top-three prospect. PROVANCE (13) is having his first run for the new stable and gets 2kg off with the claim. Any market confidence must be noted. HELLCIBELL (9) has been a touch flat at the past couple but the form prior was full of merit. Worth another chance. CASROCK (12) goes well for hoop Graham who has three wins and six placings from 15 steers. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: North Of Eli to get a well-deserved win.
