Slick tempo with Mellencamp to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. BRIGHT LEGEND (9) registered her first win at start seven with a strong performance over 1614m at Taree on June 25. Brings solid numbers here and should handle the rise in grade. HOPE UNO (4) is backing up seven days after finishing a sound second over 1650m at Moruya. Undefeated this track and will handle the rise in grade. APPLE CIDER (8) has his hoof on the till and will appreciate a firmer track today. Almost a month between runs when sat on the speed before tiring to run third over 1600m at Narromine on June 24. Hard fit now and looks up to this stronger contest. THE GREAT ARMADA (16) turned his form around quickly when a dominant 1.5 len winner over 1600m at Narromine on June 24. Both wins have come over this trip and gets his chance from the good gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,4,8,16.
