|---|---|---|---|---|

Pace strong with Sunroe and Ferrari Man leading with Newyork Missile nearby. GOLD GOVERNOR (10) maps well and can bounce back after disappointing last start with a fading sixth over 1500m at Yarra Valley. Assess on his solid earlier runs. FREUD (8) total forgive from the terrible draw when snagged back to finish thirteenth over 1400m at Wagga . Finally drawn a low barrier and should get the mile. Each way. FERRARI MAN (1) worked hard from the sticky gate with a fading fourth to Zelestial over 1600m at Dubbo in a tougher contest. Poorly drawn again but stays in the mix. LIGHTNING FLASH (11) back in trip and should find this slightly easier with the fast tempo. Can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,8,1.
