Solid tempo set by Hawker Hall and The Years. GETAFIX (1) arrives third-up off a freshen and has the numbers to give this a shake. Tumbles in grade off the Hawkesbury Guineas and just missed in a recent Randwick trial. JMac rides for the first time, and that's a decent push for his chances. LUGH (7) resumes and impressed winning a 68 at Newcastle his only start last preparation. Has Nock's handy 2kg claim, and he maps for a soft run. Looks ready to go. BELIEVE IN ANGELS (13) has Clark aboard and will likely skip across to the speed. He's busting to win and is a chance if things go his way. METAPHORICALLY (9) led this grade at Canterbury first-up and missed a whisker. He won this track/trip at his only second-up outing and expect the 2kg claimer to push forward. He also deserves plenty of consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Getafix.
