Expecting a genuine tempo. MY SHAREENA (5) caught the eye at her two runs back and is ready to deliver with the key jockey change. Sat midfield and produced solid figures with a narrow second over 1600m at Kembla Grange. Will relish the good tempo and take stopping. DUBAI WARRIOR (1) is building a good winning CV and has excellent second-up stats. Excellent return from the long layoff with a tenacious third over this trip at Gosford in the heavy (8) going. Claim helps again and has excellent prospects. SQUEEZEBOX (3) consistent gelding with a fitness edge over the bulk of these. On the quick back-up from the good draw and stays in the calculations. CHEVAL DE BOIS (4) lightly raced gelding who caught the eye at his first run back to secure fourth over 1400m at Newcastle. Can run into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,1,3,4.
