Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Aeternum. DIFENSIVO (11) progressive gelding who looks up to this third-up after sticking on well to secure second over 1000m at Gosford in C1 grade. Adept in all conditions and has the ability to get the better of these. Respect. ZOOM OUTCOME (1) tough old gelding who indicated he was close to his best with a gritty fourth over 1000m at this track in the heavy conditions. Will appreciate the claim again and play a leading role. FLYING SHELLY (7) won well first-up on the heavy (10) track, then thrown in the deep end with a battling last over 1200m at Doomben in BM70 grade. Tongue-tie goes on and proven in the going. Sure to be thereabouts. CATCHY TUNES (12) Gosford-trained mare who was in a different class last time demolishing her rivals over this trip at Queanbeyan in slick timer. Well drawn and she finds a winnable race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Difensivo has the upside to get the job done.
