Genuine pace with Duke Of Camden taking up the running ahead of Aligned and Lone Artist. Even contest with plenty of chances. PELOSA (6) is a progressive mare who chipped away late on resumption with a close-up fifth over 1200m at this track. Lone victory came second-up and gets every chance with Zac Lloyd aboard. ALIGNED (1) consistent gelding who bounced off his good first-up third, with a tenacious victory over 1200m at Gosford with the 61kg. Drawn to get the right run and expected to go close. PERLE DE CHOCOLAT (7) ridden with intent early before being nailed late to finish a close-up fourth over 1300m at Newcastle. Regular rider goes back on and shapes as a value player. CAN EXPECT GREATER (9) found the line nicely third-up with an unlucky second over 1200m at this track. Gets the right tempo again and not without each way claims. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,1,7,9.
