Casino Bear is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. CASINO BEAR (8) is an old marvel who won his fourth race in the last five starts when he blitzed a BM82 field over 1812m at this track 12 days ago. Winning over a wide distance range, wet or dry. Should dictate terms and looks the one to beat carrying just 54kgs. BELVEDERE BOYS (3) was very good over today's trip in the Gr 3 Premier's Cup at Rosehill two back then disappointed in the Newcastle Cup most recently. Ten furlongs hits his sweet spot. Can turn things around. AGE OF SAIL (4) hasn't race for five weeks but this is the race he has been aimed at. Trialled at Scone recently to bring him up to speed. Good enough on his day. NAVAL COLLEGE (1) did nothing first-up in the Kingston Town but does have a better record with that run under the belt. TWIGMAN (9) caught the eye last start at the Gold Coast and he has a good record at this circuit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Veteran Casino Bear to earn a ticket in next month's Big Dance.
