Solid tempo anticipated with Bonnie Amore and Furrina pressing forward with Frose not far away. Good dash with plenty of live chances. SUPERVISE (2) is hard to fault on two recent wins and a narrow loss. Fraction more weight but honest and goes well course and distance. Will go close again. GREATHAM BOY (1) is back from a let-up and back in grade on last couple. Better off here and gets chance to atone. Was a winner three back. EL PIBE DE ORO (3) is another racing in great heart. Freshened since a narrow defeat in richer grade here latest so must be among the chances with a repeat. BONNIE AMORE (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish seventh, beaten 12 lengths, over 1000m at Sandown-Hillside. Back a notch and can bounce. WHITSON (9) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing sixth last start over 1206m at Donald six-and-a-half weeks ago. Up a notch but has the nice weight this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Supervise.
