I See You Coming, Surreal Ascot and Nepravda can set a good tempo.
NEPRAVDA (6) had been racing well, including a win in a BM70 over this distance at Doomben three back, before failing last start at Eagle Farm. Draws the fence so this sets up nicely for a return to form. BOLLINGER MISS (7) has been racing well without winning, the latest offering a closing third after missing the start as favourite over 1400m at the Gold Coast. Coming back in trip is a small query but she is going well enough to play a key role here. SURREAL ASCOT (4) led all the way for an easy win in a BM65 over 1100m at Gatton recently. Responded positively to the addition of winkers that day. Untroubled by an extra 100m so another win is not out of reach. HOPPER (2) charged home late to get up for fourth when resuming over this distance at Eagle Farm last start. Good second-up performer who draws a far better gate this time. Definite contender. The chances look to end there, with CALICO JACK (1) best of the others. SUGGESTED PLAY: Not a lot between the top four, with a slight edge to Nepravda.
