Moderate tempo with Bondi Prophet leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. WANJINA ROSE (12) has been around the mark in stronger company, most recently closing well for fourth here. Drops in class and looks well placed to make a big impact. Going on top in the lucky last. ORSUM (1) went better than the form reads here last start, making solid inroads late in testing conditions. Strips fitter third-up and gets in well with the 3kg claimer reuniting. SEETHING CHUCK (7) is drawn to get a good run from the inside draw for his return. Doesn't boast a strong resume but can sneak into the frame fresh if he brings his A-game and BONDI PROPHET (13) also needs to be considered. Mixing form but the pick of it stands up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Wanjina Rose.
