Genuine pace headed by Pahang from his wide draw. FAN HARDER (11) returns from a long layoff after scoring a slick debut victory as fav over 1000m at Muswellbrook last September. Given the one soft trial and expected to make it back-to-back wins. SUPAIRO (9) was never on the track when a dismal seventh over 1200m at Scone at his second run back. Assess on the good first up performance despite drawing out again. GREAT COSMIC (12) won on debut and is back from a freshen-up. Has the benefit of a trial placing and looks threatening. MASTER GEE (16) resumes for a new stable and has solid fresh form. In the mix. MAGIC FLYER (4) wasn't expected to do much when fresh from a spell last start at this track over 1200m and wound up in 11th. Fitter and look for an improved run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fan Harder to remain undefeated.
