Jacenza, Believe So and All Hunky Dory can set a genuine tempo.
ALL HUNKY DORY (4) impressed first-up at Newcastle then pulled up with a respiratory issue at Gosford last start so forget that failure. Flies here at this trip with two wins from as many tries. Should be back on track and this looks a lovely race for him. MOSGIEL DAISY (12) got too far back and failed to figure here last time out over 1408m. Up sharply in grade today but drops dramatically in the weights and is probably looking for the mile now. The consistent UNCLE HARRY (7) whacked away but was never a threat under 59kgs at Wyong recently. Boasts a strong 1600m record and with 3kgs less this time he should be right in the finish. CHANGE THE DATE (10) started favourite in a similar race to this at Tuncurry last start but found one better. The winner of two from three at Taree so leave him out at your peril. Veteran FULL PRESS (5) bobs up every now and then. Throw him in the trifectas and first fours. SUGGESTED PLAY: All Hunky Dory to bounce back and score.
