Expecting a solid tempo set up by Chandon Star crossing from the outside stall. INAZUMA BOY (3) tough gelding who keeps raising the bar this time in. Chasing his third straight victory today after he closed late for a narrow but decisive win over 1000m at Tamworth as favourite. Apprentice goes on and expected to keep the winning momentum going. FEIRME PRINCE (7) back to country grade when he savaged the line to finish second over 1200m at this track. Can tick the 1100m box here. GRINS (8) went back from the outside draw on resumption with an ordinary ninth over 1100m at Mudgee. Senior rider hops aboard from the draw and can stalk the speed. Stays in the mix. STAFFA (6) produced another moderate effort last start when 3 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Inazuma Boy looks hard to stop in this rich vein of form.
