Strong tempo assured from Sir Goldalot and Okesutora leading the charge. Competitive affair to close out the card. SIRKEL (11) returned in fine fashion saluting at Doomben before just missing the frame in a harder race there last time out. Sure to find this assignment much more to her liking and will be right there when the judge calls a halt. NIGHTSTICK (5) has placed two from three over this track and trip and will be high on confidence following that last-start Rockhampton victory. Rates among the leading contenders. Former Victorian SOUTHERN MONEY (16) will strip fitter second-up from the break and should find this easier than what she faced down south. Can feature with natural improvement. Last-start placegetter DOWNEY (4) hasn't missed the top three in three tries at this distance and draws for a soft run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Sirkel.
