Cryptonic should lead at a slick tempo. CASSIEL (2) two solid runs back have him ready to break through today with the winkers going on. Powered late with the 59kg when a narrow third over 1200m at Kembla Grange in this class on November 5. Can race closer and no excuses here. CRYPTONIC (4) rewarded for his consistency when returning for a strong maiden win over 1000m at Wyong on November 9. Ready to tackle this stiffer assignment on his home track. Can win again. DON'T DOUBT MERLIN (1) exciting Press Statement gelding with the three wins from his last four starts. Demolished a similar lineup in this class when a 0.7 len winner over 1100m at Wyong on November 9. Has the speed to get across from the wide gate. MISSILE SEEKER (5) dynamite fresh gelding resuming with a good record over this track and trip. Fitted with the one trial and look for him doing his best work late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cassiel to win.
