Solid tempo anticipated with Spirits Burn Deep leading the way. BONDI PROPHET (15) indicated a win was imminent when a narrow on pace fourth over 1280m at Muswellbrook. Gets a more economical run with Ben Looker keeping the ride. Goes close. SPIRITS BURN DEEP (3) undefeated at this track and this looks much easier after bumping into the smart Killer Kerr when second over 1300m at Goulburn. Gets weight relief again and will need an even better ride today. Each way. PUNCH ONE OUT (5) holding form well and should get the right tempo. Powered late from near last on the turn when a solid fourth over 1208m at Port Macquarie. Ready for the 1400m and not to be underestimated. CLUEDO (2) returns from a break. Progressing nicely including a recent trial win at Port Macquarie. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bondi Prophet and Spirits Burn Deep to fight it out.
