Keen tempo with Ken'ker and Whil To Win prominent. DIFENSIVO (10) dominant win at Gosford two-back, then snagged back from the draw and failed to get into the contest with a struggling seventh over 1000m at Wyong. Can stalk the fast tempo today and finish over the top of these. THE PICCOLINO (9) kept fresh and his best form is over this track and trip. Tried hard in the heavy (10) going with a tiring on-pace fourth over 1100m at Gosford. Will race handy and take holding out. NOT WRITTEN OFF (2) racing in career best form with the two good wins in similar company. Jumps in weight today after she returned good figures when scoring over 1000m at Tamworth in fast time. Has solid winning claims. BEER BARON (6) chasing his third-straight win and looks up to this tougher contest. Launched late from back in the field with a sound win over 1000m at Coffs Harbour. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Difensivo has the upside to put these away.
