Solid tempo anticipated with Damascus Gate taking charge. MOSGIEL CRYSTAL (10) handy mare ready to win in this easier race. Got well out of her ground and like the way she savaged the line when fourth over 1400m at Taree in C2 grade. Leading rider goes aboard and can get the better of these. HILLBILLY HIPPIE (14) mixing her form and comes back in trip after fading to run ninth over 1600m at Moree. Much better than that and stays in the mix. DAMASCUS GATE (1) holding his form and will relish the 3kg claim again after sitting on the speed for a game second over 1400m at Gunnedah. Top three contender. EXPLOSIVE TYCOON (5) in good yard and working himself back into form after running third over 1400m at Taree. Can race closer and give plenty of cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mosgiel Crystal each way.
