Swift Gun, Dubai Gold and Powerful Peg can set a genuine tempo. FLYING ARGYLE (3) hasn't had much go his way in two starts this time in but is undefeated at this trip. Petrol saver draw is crucial this time in a wide-open contest. Take seriously third up. CONTRIBUTINGFACTOR (1) has been brave in similar contests at his two starts. Three-time winner at both track and trip who comes right into calculations. RIVER PAT (9) was runner-up to an in-form galloper last start and draws to get early smother. Yet to win at this longer trip but overall record is a reliable one. PRINCESS CRUZER (6) usually grows a leg second up but will need to from a poor draw. JUST IN TIME (4) showed determination when winning by 1.5 lengths when resuming from a break at Hawkesbury. Can go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flying Argyle each-way.
