What's The Point has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. One of the features of the day and the progressive ALL GRUNT (2) makes the step up to Listed company today. He's an exciting horse on the rise and the extra 100m doesn't look a problem. He's should be able to sit a little closer this time and he'll be very hard to hold out if he continues on his current trajectory. RON'S FINALFLUTTER (8) resumed in good order in the Breeders' at Bunbury, beaten 0.8L after sitting on the speed throughout. Brad Parnham hops back in the saddle now and he maps for a lovely run once again. Gets in at the bottom of the weights and should make her presence felt. DEEL HER IN (10) jumped favourite ahead of All Grunt last start and was only 0.3L off him there. She meets him worse at the weights, but she's an improve type who looks up to this grade. Can feature. GLASGOW LASS (6) is interesting out to this trip after sprinting well to begin her career. Won't be far away. FLOWER OF GOLD (9) gets Pike in the saddle and can run a bold race. SUGGESTED PLAY: All Grunt can win again.
