Abundant pace from Golden Copper, Thunderous and Dark Stratum vying for the lead with Tribbiani on their backs. DEEP STEALTH (9) is going along well and wound up nicely last time over 1100m at Grafton to finish fourth. Is a winner at this circuit. Will be hard to stop. GOLDEN COPPER (6) was safely held when ninth last start over 1200m at Gold Coast, beaten 3L after a good first-up win at Coffs Harbour. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. THUNDEROUS (8) wasn't far away when resuming and then went right on with the job last start when scoring at Gatton. Fitter and has more to offer. DARK STRATUM (7) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by a head last time out over 1412m at Taree. No reason to get off him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Deep Stealth to win.
