Miners Mate, Celestial Bell and Northern Eagle to take up the running at a strong tempo. CRASHMYPLAYA (5) overcame a rocky run and made ground when finishing midfield fresh up at Coffs Harbour just over 2 weeks ago. He steps up to 1400m, and with his only win coming on this track, he will be hard to beat this time. TAMIEKA WARRIOR (8) broke through for an overdue maiden win at Moree by a nose 3 weeks ago, and he maps to receive the run of the race here from the pole position. Stick with him. MINERS MATE (3) capped off some strong placed form with an easy all the way maiden win at Dubbo nearly a fortnight ago, bolting in by just over 4 lengths. He is good enough to repeat the dose. SUNDAY PUNCH (7) will be peaking third up from a spell and may find this a touch easier. Include in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crashmyplaya each-way.
