Moderate tempo with Back To Bondi leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. BACK TO BONDI (1) whacked away to finish fourth as the favourite here 2 weeks ago when having to work hard from a wide draw. He has a superior gate this time, and in a similar set-up, he can take this out. Follow your money. IMPRESSIVE JEWEL (6) is gradually working her way towards another win, and she finished ahead of the top pick in the same race when finishing third last start. She has the pole position again, but this time she will have William Pike back in the saddle, and that may be enough to see her get the nod. THE NUN (7) finished just behind the top pick in the same race last time out in fifth place. A firmer surface will suit him and he is peaking at the right time. Stick with him on an each-way basis. GRANDAD'S ADICTION (9) built strongly for a well-deserved win here last week, and though there is more depth to this field, he can repeat the dose. ROSIE CAN RUN (3) has made an encouraging start to this prep and won here 2 starts back in lesser company. Keep her safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Impressive Jewel each way.
