Expecting a moderate pace headed by Wonder Brahma and Bold Triumph. MIDNIGHT AFFAIR (10) has built nicely into this prep, capitalising third-up when digging deep to score at Bathurst. Is still open to further improvement and has winning hoop sticking for a smart stable. Can repeat the dose. FLYING FLOSSY (4) has only struck through this once this campaign but the form around her stacks right up. Peak fitness now, just needs some luck from the draw. THE PREDICTOR (8) was much better here last start when working home nicely to just miss. Peaking now and can get the job done. BOLD TRIUMPH (14) strips fitter third-up and usually performs best at this track. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Midnight Affair.
