Strong tempo with Charlie Jane, True Blue Bondi and Gage Roads leading the way. COSMIC ECLIPSE (7) resumed with an easy CL1 won on the Scarpside. There was a stack of merit in the effort, and she is sure to keep improving for the top yard. Pike sticks aboard, and she can take the next step. NICKELPLAY (10) wet close at Northam and is ready to fire. She's raced well at Stakes level, and Chris Parnham rides for the first time. A live chance. Stablemate ZORBRIST (4) is fit and brings good numbers. Two back, he demolished a CL3 field at Belmont over this distance and will position forward. Has to be considered. TRUE BLUE BONDI (6) is speedy and progressive. Led and missed a whisker in an Ascot CL3 last time, and he's been freshened 61 days. He will skip over to the speed and is sure to give a big sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Cosmic Eclipse.
