Strong pace with Old Timing Man, Alf's Magic and Private Showtime paving the way. GLAM (12) justified the short quote on resumption when a comfortable maiden winner over 1000m at Casino. Gets a similar setup for this and will relish the 1200m. Expected to go on with it now. DUNE AND DUSTED (1) tough gelding who bounced back to form on the firmer surface when a fast finishing second over 1100m at Beaudesert. Drops in grade and hard to stop with the claim. OUR SPARKY (10) kept fresh for this and drops back to the 1200m. Closed quickly when a gritty second over 1400m at this track. Tempo suits and goes close. GOT THE SMARTS (6) ready to peak for this after looming late when third over 1185m at this track. McGuren keeps the ride and the tempo suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Glam to go on with it now.
