Genuine tempo with the speedy Run D'affaire Run leading the way. LINDEN'S GOLD (2) comes into this third-up and ready to peak, running on strongly to finish 1.5L off the winner here most recently. He looks ready for this trip now and he maps to get his chance for Chris Parnham. The one to beat with improvement anticipated. CENTRAL FORCE (3) ended up just 2.5L off the winner from well back in the field first-up and will find this much easier back to Provincial grade. Pike hops in the saddle and out to this distance second-up looks ideal. Drawn nicely and can put his best foot forward. BEANIE (7) is ticking along nicely without winning, finishing 1.9L away most recently at Northam. He hasn't won for a long time, though his recent figures say he can be in the finish in a race like this. CANNY JACK (8) has been racing in Saturday company his past couple and will appreciate this easier race. CJP rides and improvement is likely. ABBOU (6) won't be far away if he can run up to his most recent effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Linden's Gold goes on top.
