A solid tempo is anticipated with Wild Chap and Headley Grange kicking up to hold out the next wave. Solid race with several leading chances. BOYS NIGHT OUT (8) is in top form, and progressing quickly through his grades. Only has to overcome this sticky gate to play a leading role after scoring a tough nose win over 1666m at Ipswich. Winning rider sticks and gets a nice drop in weight. CRANKY HARRY (5) another from the Dunn yard ready to peak fourth up. Up in class again when a fading eleventh in the LR Tatt's Mile over 1600m at Eagle Farm. Value prospect. DEMON DARB (6) kept fresh and his best figures are over the mile. Never happy on the firmer surface at WFA when a poor seventh in the LR Wayne Wilson Mile at Eagle Farm. Assess on his good win two back at Eagle Farm. Goes close with the map favours. HEADLEY GRANGE (1) undefeated in two runs back and going quickly through his grades. Gets an awkward set up here after defeating a strong field in the LR Civic Stakes at Randwick over 1400m. Proven at the trip and will need everything to go right.
CABOCHE (4) has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boys Night Out each way.
