Bondi Prophet and Prince Rupert possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo.
YES YES BOSS (7) broke a run of outs with a tough win last start in a similar race to this at Tamworth. Has a wide gate to contend with but can press forward and find a spot in the leading division. Big chance to repeat the dose. CRAIG'S ONE (3) returned from a 32-week spell with an eye-catching second behind Dubalene over this course and distance on 22 February. Draws a far better gate this time and enjoys a 2kgs weight swing on today's rival which might tip things his way. DUBALENE (4) came from last to convincingly defeat Craig's One and seven others in a comparable race here recently when fresh from a spell. Draws a good gate and with added fitness is a great chance to make it two on the trot. TRYANZA (2) has been mixing his form. Placed at four of his six runs over today's distance and jumps from an ideal gate so he must go in the numbers. CRITICAL TIME (1) boasts a fine first-up record so despite 61kgs he should be highly competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yes Yes Boss to win.
