Hot early pace is on the cards with Chilli Jam, Demon Award and Acrobatic matching motors. The penny has dropped for NORTHERN PRIDE (12) who has put two wins together to commence the campaign and is racing with a lot of confidence. Hard to leave out. MISSILE THUNDER (6) loves this course and distance winning six from eight and always has to be included in the multiples. Respect. GO GETABOY (2) has won three of his last four and is sure to give another sight. ACROBATIC (4) got the job done here last time out and will be hitting the line with gusto. SUGGESTED PLAY: Northern Pride gets the nod.
