Strong pace with Bear On The Loose and Nellie Leylax driving across from their wide draws. BEAR ON THE LOOSE (5) hasn't won for a long time but will prove a handful to run down when he rolls forward and under the light weight. TOURISTIC (4) finally put it all together in the Canberra Cup when surging late to score and with a much kinder draw and confidence high he is a major threat, especially if the rain arrives. PLYMOUTH (2) has been sound in two runs back against stronger company. Gets in well at the weights and should be nearing a peak, making him very competitive. NELLIE LEYLAX (3) got things back on track third-up with a solid fourth behind Touristic in the Cup. Meets the winner better at the weights and strips fitter again, so expect him to be in this for a long way. CASINO SEVENTEEN (1) is building and on his best figures is worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bear On The Loose to lead all the way.
