Pace genuine with Pharoah Magic and Flying Annie pressing hard closely followed by Rising Sphere and Zourata. BOLDINHO (3) had been out of form earlier in the year and was moved on to the Gary Clarke stable. The change of scenery, as so often happens, helped this gelding rediscover some winning form again, when he scored by a short head fresh up 3 weeks ago. He cops a wide gate, but drops 7kg, which makes him the one to beat again. ZOURATA (7) is part of the Peter Robl stable, which has been feasting on winners during this carnival. He led all the way to score by well over 3 lengths here 17 days ago, and if he can find the front from a poor gate, then he will take plenty of pegging back again. HELLO WORLD (11) has the blinkers back on after a last-start third in only his second start in the area, winning his local debut before that. Stick with him. BON'S PRIDE (5) returned to winning form at the right time when scoring by half a length here a fortnight ago. He drops 5kg and can repeat the dose. LUMBER PUNK (6) is not to be ruled out of a top 3 finish after drawing in the pole position. SUGGESTED PLAY: A top field with many chances, and we like Boldinho at a good each-way price.
