Not much early pressure but Nagamie, Best Coffee and Toros can take up forward spots. NAGAMIE (1) doesn't win out of turn but has been right there in all three runs this preparation and looks to be building up to another victory. Has placed one from one around this circuit and maps perfectly from gate two. Looks the one they all have to run down. YOU AND I (6) got the job done here last time out and has since been given a bit of a freshen up for the drop back in trip. Keep very safe. BEST COFFEE (3) goes well for rider Lerena who has two wins from three steers. Fitter now and is sure to run well. SHARON DRIVE (4) was off a short break and debuting for the new stable at this track last start. Fitter for that run and the extra trip looks ideal. Can be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nagamie to get a well-deserved victory.
