Strong tempo, primarily from Bondi Prophet and Prince Rupert. COOL AZ ALETTA (2) has been performing well without winning in better races than this. Best effort was two back when he chimed in late but just missed over a similar trip to this at Taree in a BM58. Has a wide gate and plenty of weight but it shouldn't stop him. BONDI PROPHET (5) lined up in a similar race to this at Port Macquarie last Saturday when he worked home in good style to grab second. Can progress from that run which was only the second of the campaign. Timing for this looks spot on. OFCOURSEIAM (6) is rarely far away but finds it hard to win. Back in grade on recent runs so don't rule her out. TOY STORY (1) caught the eye when resuming at Port Macquarie seven days ago. Might need one more but certainly one for the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cool Az Aletta to win the last.
