Genuine tempo with the speedy Wondereach leading the way. WONDEREACH (6) resumes here but has a solid first-up record with two wins and two placings from six attempts. Can run a big race while fresh. THELWELL (7) is a four-time winner over this course and distance and will be high on confidence following that last-start Gold Coast victory. Can go right on with the job now. MAXIMUM OUTPUT (2) strips fitter third-up from the break and gets some weight off with the 3kg claim. In the mix on best figures. KRAKARIB (8) usually races well second-up so can improve on his fifth when resuming at Grafton. CLICK CLICK BOOM (11) usually reliable type who ran well below his best last start when 5.5 lengths adrift in seventh over 1200m at this track. Better than that last effort and in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Wondereach.
