De Poet can find the lead, Boss has some speed and Hauraki Gulf can be handy too. DE POET (3) was impressive leading all the way on a heavy track at Taree then way up in class when not disgraced at Rosehill a few weeks ago. Can give a good sight. BUCK PHAROAH (7) was placed behind De Poet before running second at Taree last time out. Sure to be around the mark again. HAURAKI GULF (4) is going well without winning and has every chance from the draw here. BOURBON FLYER (2) and TIME FOR VICTORY (1) are worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: De Poet each-way.
