Aussie Nation to roll forward and dictate terms. AUSSIE NATION (3) consistent gelding racing in career best form. Up in grade when he stalked the speed for a courageous second over 2100m at Tamworth in BM85 grade. Winning rider hops back aboard from the good gate and is expected to go close in this weaker race. GRANDINI (11) consistent mare who doesn't have to improve much in this easier contest. Has won twice from her last five starts this time in. Drifted back early and chipped away late when sixth over 2100m at Wyong. Adept in all conditions and has genuine top-three claims. MICHELANGELO (9) looked to have plenty up the sleeve second-up when he rounded them up effortlessly as fav to salute over 1800m at Bathurst. Looks up to this with the claim and not to be underestimated. SCOTTISH PEARL (5) two runs back have only been average after progressing quickly in stronger company last preparation. Placed on heavy going and deserves another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,11,9,5.
