A solid tempo on the cards with Bantarki taking charge. SWIFT CHARM (3) tenacious gelding who retains his zest for racing. Third-up now after looming strongly when a narrow second over 1420m at Grafton on the heavy surface. Leading rider takes the reins and will prove hard to stop. BANTARKI (2) is racing in career best form, and another win looks imminent. Dug deep again when a gritty on-pace third over 1250m at Taree. Has the speed to get over from the sticky gate. HE'S A COPY BOY (12) winning rider goes back on after surging late from last on the turn when a game third over 1400m in the Casino Cup. Gets the right pressure to take a hand in the finish. BOLD HOI HO (10) resumes with an excellent fresh record. Back in grade and drops sharply in weight. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,2,12,10.
