Cracking tempo with Cumboogle and Obsessive Nature leading the way. Very open affair. PRESS FORWARD (7) just gets the nod following his barnstorming win over this course and distance last start. Has now raced over 1000m here nine times for eight top three finishes. Steps up in grade but he maps perfectly off a hot tempo and can finish right over the top again. NOR NOR WEST (11) has been freshened up since returning to the winner's list with a narrow victory over 1200m here five weeks ago. Can run another big race. CANAMBLE (8) was friendless in betting but pulled off a surprise win over this trip at Scone a month ago. Goes well when kept fresh so she is right in the picture again. CUMBOOGLE (1) led but couldn't keep going when fresh from a spell over this distance at Orange last time out. Has a far better second-up record so expect him to offer more resistance here. WASTED DAYS (6) is back from a six-month spell. Has only missed the frame once in five runs at Dubbo. Capable of a strong return with the help of the inside draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Press Forward to win again.
