Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +3m 900m-400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 4.90)  

Enterprise Legend to take charge ahead of Kote at a strong tempo. ROTHGATE (12) consistent sprinter kept fresh for this. Tenacious effort up on the pace with the 58kg when a fighting second over 1200m at Warren. Senior rider on today and will take stopping with the sharp drop in weight. ENTERPRISE LEGEND (7) won two of his last three starts and strips fitter third up. Drops 5kg in weight here and assess on his good first-up win at Tamworth. PLENITUDE (11) freshened up here after disappointing when twelfth over 1200m at Rosehill in Highway company. Goes well on his home track and can race closer from the low gate. MIDNIGHT DREAM (9) is retaining his zest for racing and stays in the calculations on his good recent efforts. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 12,7,11,9.
