Mutafiq to find the front in the small field.
Former NSW galloper PAR FIVE (4) looked good winning around this circuit when having his first run for the new stable and will have taken some confidence from that victory. Sure to find this easier than what he has been facing down south and can go back-to-back to start the campaign. TARGETED (5) has won over this track and trip and should get a cosy run in transit from gate two. Has the ability to take this out. NIPPA'S NIGHTCAP (3) is a bit hit or miss but is capable of a strong showing if he brings his A-game. Cannot be taken lightly. The well-related MUTAFIQ (1) (half to 2xG3 winner Enthaar) strips fitter second-up from the break and must be respected from the Massingham yard. Makes some appeal. DREAMWOMAN (2) rounds out the selections in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Par Five.
