Strong tempo assured from Heaven Bound and Rose's Legacy leading the charge. DRUNKEN SAILOR (9) latest run was better than it appeared on paper when eighth to Missile Seeker over this journey at Rosehill in Midway company. Well placed today at the good each way price. RATHORAN (2) building a solid record and continued the good form when resuming with a fast-finishing victory over 1300m at Wyong. Returned excellent figures on that occasion and will take holding out again. OAKFIELD MERCURY (3) unsuited over the shorter trip first-up when a respectable fifth over 1250m at Newcastle. Progressive gelding who can finish over the top of these as he gets out to his right trip. SHOTGUN BELLA (7) finished in the money at all five starts and stretches out to the 1500m today. Will tag the good speed and can take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,2,3.
