Plenty of early pressure from Echo Sunshine and Nanakorobi Yaoki battling for the lead. NORTH OF ELI (3) talented gelding fitter now and will relish the sharp drop in grade. Well held last time out when 12th in the LR Daybreak Lover Plate over 1400m at Eagle Farm on April 20. Gets map favours and should prove too good for these with the 62kg. CRITICAL TIME (2) first run this region when resumed with a gritty head win over 1181m at Grafton on April 30. Has clearly come back well and second-up record is just as strong. BOULANGER (9) total forgive at latest when taken back from the wide draw when sixth at Grafton Ctry over 1181m on April 30. Much better than that and expecting more today. ECHO SUNSHINE (11) showed ability last time in and fitter after two runs back. Lone win came over this trip and improvement is expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: North Of Eli to win.
