Solid early tempo with Friday At Five capable of leading the way. AFRICAN PIONEER (6) has won two of his past three starts, an easy maiden winner three back at Ararat and again victorious last start at Bendigo in a Bm58. Can measure up again. STEPCHILD (3) is a handy type coming off a solid win at Seymour at just his fourth start. Likely to get back from the draw but will be running on strongly. FUNNYIFITWON (1) is racing in fine form and should prove hard to beat with even luck. UNTHINKABLE (12) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: African Pioneer each-way.
