A solid tempo anticipated with Podium Star and Jimmy's Brother ahead of Cabaletto and Gambler.
The well-related GAMBLER (3) (half to Golden Slipper winner Guest House) has been plying his trade in harder metropolitan outings and should appreciate the drop back in company here. Maps ideally for this from gate three and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. JIMMY'S BROTHER (1) has put back-to-back victories together and is racing high on confidence of late. Can bring up the hat-trick here. INDEFENSIBLE (4) brings NSW formlines to the table and should find this a touch easier. Top-three credentials. CONTILDA'S LOVE (2) saves his best form for this circuit and must be included in exotics. PODIUM STAR (8) returns from a spell after a debut victory here and any market support must be noted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,1,4,2.
