Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Irish Bliss. Can make a case for almost every runner. YOUR NOT THE BOSS (10) comes out on top after his last-to-first win over 1425m at Moruya last Friday. Dropping back in trip is the obvious query but he has won twice at six furlongs. Can win again on the quick backup. Stablemate DUMEBI (2) raced handy then battled on well to hold third when resuming last time out over 1300m at Wyong. Has peaked with one more run under the belt at the last couple of preps, but that effort last time suggests he is forward enough to test this field. ZARAGOZA (4) has won three races, all at Kembla. Made it four top-three finishes in a row when 1.5 lengths away over 1000m at Warwick Farm recently. Looms as a significant threat. THE EXTREME CAT (3) needed the run when safely held first-up in a Rosehill Highway. Good enough on his day to take this out. CANI CANCAN (8) next best with the help of the inside draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Your Not The Boss to salute again.
