In the small field Ferrari Man and Departing Bullet are expected to take up the running. BOMBELLEISTIC (6) took charge a fair way from home and kept going to score over this distance at Goulburn last start. Steps up from a BM58 to a BM66 but gets some weight relief and can certainly get the job done again. AIRLINER (10) settled a mile back in the big field but warmed to the task late to finish midfield last time out over 1500m at Rosehill. Hasn't won for around three years but back in a country BM66 he is in the mix. WEXFORD MISS (7) has struck form with a couple of minor placings of late, both over shorter trips. Unproven at this distance but she is rock-hard fit and should be thereabouts. BONUS TEMPUS (5) just missed in a similar race to this at the Sapphire Coast two starts ago. Big chance if he recaptures that form. GORSHIN (9) is worth throwing in wider exotics at big odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bombelleistic to win again.
