Moderate tempo with The Eighth I Am leading the way. BETTER BE READY (2) couldn't have been more impressive when saluting by a whopping four lengths at Mackay last time out, and winning rider Cormack stays on top. Can go right on with the job now with confidence. BUBBLES'N'FROTH (5) has been consistent this time in work hitting the top four on all four occasions. Is one from one around this circuit and has to be included in calculations. KEEP ON RUNNING (4) returned to form with a close-up second at the latest outing and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a major role in the finish. SAND 'N' POWER (11) is drawn to get a gun run in transit from the inside alley and shouldn't be discounted lightly. FANG IT (6) next best in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Better Be Ready.
