Nikody's Diego, Kobaytera and All Too Rosey can set a genuine tempo. KOBAYTERA (12) stepped up in trip quickly to 1509m at Port Macquarie last start and did a great job to lead from the outset and defy the challengers. Thrived on a heavy deck the start prior so today's conditions aren't a concern. Big chance to chalk up the hat trick. The consistent RATHORAN (4) came with a sustained run to easily win a BM58 over 1500m at Port Macquarie last time out. Loves these conditions and despite getting up in the weights is a major player again. ALL TOO ROSEY (14) has been just behind the placegetters at her two runs this time in work, both over shorter trips. The extra furlong comes at the right time. Worth considering. MERAPI (11) made late ground to be beaten under a length over 1509m at Port Macquarie recently. Impressive winner when resuming the run before on a heavy surface. Right in the mix. ROBARGE (7) is on trial at this distance but it looks the right option. Well in after the claim and makes each-way appeal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Can't split Kobaytera and Rathoran so back them both.
