Foreman's Gully and Arthur The Great should set a strong tempo. ARTHUR THE GREAT (4) bounced back to form last start at Wagga when beaten a neck by Love Shuck who was then beaten narrowly in the Wagga Town Plate. Should be at his top now fourth-up and will be looking to cross quickly from the wide draw to lead them up. Expecting him to prove hard to reel in. PANIC (6) made light work of his rivals last start at Bathurst when scoring with a bit in reserve. If he holds that form he can win again. PLEASURIZE (9) scored easily when resuming last month. Was only sound second-up when finishing midfield at Wagga but strips fitter third-up and gets in light at the weights. Maps to be blending into it at just the right time. GREATHAM BOY (1) hasn't fired a shot in his last two but this is a sharp drop in grade and Boudvillain's booking is a positive. Not dismissing. SAN MARINO (7) returns and is a noted fresh performer. Will pay to watch for any late moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arthur The Great to win.
