A solid tempo on the cards with Jacenza heading them off. NOMORENIGHTSHIFT (13) talented gelding resuming with excellent fresh credentials. Back in trip and failed to stretch out in the heavy (8) going with a fading sixth over 1280m here last February. Fitted with the one trial and the cross-over nose band goes on. Can finish over the top of these. HELLCIBELL (6) tough mare who held a forward position to run a respectable third over 1400m at Grafton in the Mother's Gift. Back to her preferred trip and has solid top-three prospects. DEION (7) will appreciate the big weight drop and looking for this trip third-up. Covered plenty of ground in the run with a plugging fifth over 1000m at Dubbo. Drawn out and stays in the calculations. OAKFIELD DUKE (1) consistent gelding who savaged the line first-up with a narrow second over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Goes just as well second-up and has a solid record over this course and distance. Poorly drawn but must be respected. RUN RORY RUN (10) good fresh gelding who strips fitter for this. Place best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nomorenightshift and Hellcibell will prove hard to stop.
