Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Mamushka. STEEL STRIKE (6) didn't have the best of luck but managed to battle on for third when resuming over 1250m at Canterbury last start. The winner Astronomix has gone on to salute in Saturday company. Looks the testing material. PIERATA'S GEM (17) took a while to find clear galloping room then worked home well to finish just behind the placegetters first-up over 1400m at Randwick. Looms as a serious threat dropping back to midweek company with that run under the belt. TRANSCEND (10) last raced when sixth in the Group 3 Adrian Knox over 2000m at Randwick in the Autumn. Two decent trials leading into this suggest she is forward enough to run a cheeky race. MAMUSHKA (11) was runner-up over this trip at Warwick Farm two runs ago then failed at 1400m last time. In the right race to bounce back for form. STAGNUM (5) did little first-up at Rosehill but is good enough to play a key role in this company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Steel Strike.
