Off the low draw High Dandy should lead at a genuine tempo. Good race with plenty of chances. HIGH DANDY (3) not far away of late and finds his race. Cruised across from the wide gate and the early effort told late when nailed by Glad You Think So to finish second over 1600m at Randwick in Midway class. Deep into his prep and will relish the weight drop. LOUIE'S LEGACY (11) proven at the mile and returned in good order. Attacked the line strongly when third over 1600m at Narrandera. Conditions suit. LOCKDOWN GAMBLE (10) undefeated at this track and gets a massive weight drop with the claim. Strong on the line when third with the 60kg over 1400m at Mudgee. Fitted with a tick over trial and can hold a forward position. JUST GO BANG (9) disappointed in town third up and assess on his gritty fourth at Narrandera two back. SUGGESTED PLAY: High Dandy in a tough contest.
