Good early pressure with The Albion or Bender Mcgee likely to take up the running. Keen on FORGING AHEAD (10) over the extra ground. Former Qld galloper who has had two sharp races for the new yard but now gets to a winnable trip. Last time at the mile was runner-up at Doomben. Expecting huge improvement. BAROCCO BAR (2) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a length at this trip. Can measure up again. Sure to run well. FRANKFURT (1) was a close-up fourth this trip two back then safely held over 1300m latest. Will appreciate getting back to the mile. COLLISON (7) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 1300m at this track, beaten a neck. Nicely placed to go one better. FABERGE TZAR (5) was fair last time this trip behind Barocco Bar and can finish closer. SUGGESTED PLAY: Forging Ahead gets to right race.
