Genuine tempo with Get Some Fun leading the way.
WHERE'STHEPROFIT (3) is a lightly tried 7YO gelding with real talent, making it 5 wins from just 9 starts when scoring fresh up at Muswellbrook just over 2 weeks ago. He did it very easily that day, and is ready to repeat the dose. MICRO MIKKI (2) is another talented gelding who finished second as the favourite fresh up at Forbes, and he is usually better with more racing. He cops a tougher gate this time, but is fitter, and can go one better. Follow your money. HELLCIBELL (4) found the company at Randwick a bit rich, and she is much better placed at this level. She is up in weights now, but deserves to be there, and an immediate form reversal is expected. TOUGH GUY (5) capped off some improving form with a game neck win as the favourite at Grafton nearly 6 weeks ago, and he has trialled up well since then. A good draw could see him go back to back. MYSTERY LAD (1) loves it here, and he has won twice from 4 starts third up in the past. Keep him very safe. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Where'stheprofit can win again.
