Off the inside draw Bear On The Loose should bounce straight to the lead and set a solid tempo. MEDATSU (10) caught the eye with a strong closing effort in the LR Albury Gold Cup last time out, finishing fifth after settling near the tail. He’s crying out for a genuine tempo and more luck in transit. Ready now. BEAR ON THE LOOSE (8) resumed in fine order when beaten a lip over the mile at Hawkesbury. Fitter now and carries a feather on his back. Will bounce straight to the front from the inside pillar and take plenty of running down. MATUSALEM (2) enjoyed a change of tactics last start when sent forward and was tough enough to fend off his rivals and land the Albury Gold Cup. Draws well with winning hoop in Jones sticking. Sure to take another strong account. HELLUVA SOIREE (16) is a fit mare in form. She can run a cheeky race at huge odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Medatsu gets the nod at an each-way quote. Wary of Bear On The Loose leading all the way.
