Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Time Is Money a potential leader. TIME IS MONEY (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at today's course and distance when first-up from a spell last start. That was his first try back in NAR level and he proved he was a class above. Hard to see anyone turning the tables on him this time. KINGSBURY (5) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1200m at this track last time. Has never been out of the money in three starts at this course and distance. Fitter and should give a great sight. MCMURDO (4) was in the money over this distance two back then stepped out over more ground last time and struggled when fourth at this track. Can bounce back. ZEEBRUGGE (3) is yet to break through in eight runs but wasn't far away last time when third over 1200m at this track on June 2. Can feature again.
