Rockrata and Gaming have the pace to take up the running at a solid tempo. CORDINA (9) is in the strong Vandyke yard and is ready to win again. Has had two starts for the stable, and lifted strongly to salute by 1.75 lengths three runs back at Nowra. Capable of using the inside gate, and she has some weight relief. HEAVENLY IMPACT (2) has placed his last two here in stronger off wide gates. Draws better today and should be right in it. FORTY TIMES (12) impressed here second-up over 1300m, beaten a half-length after settling a mile back. There was a lot to like about that effort. Will have to do it the hard way again but tumbles in weight and the longer sprint suits. FIVE RINGS (7) returned to his best form, winning a CL2 over 1509m at Port Macquarie. Hit the line hard and expect it to stack up. Has some weight relief, and he can come into it late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cordina appeals most.
