From their good gates Without, Pee Dee and Golden Galaxy will likely vie for the lead in a keen early contest. DAYU (6) raced handy and had his chance but may have needed the hit-out when resuming over 1100m at Port Macquarie last start. Best form comes at this trip so despite a tough draw he looks well placed to take this out. NAZARE'S IMPACT (3) wasn't far away in the first two runs this prep then got the job done by the barest margin last time out in a comparable race to this at Port Macquarie. Very fit gelding who just needs luck from the wide alley to be right in the thick of things again. The speedy PEE DEE (7) led but wilted over the final stages in a 1200m BM58 most recently. Loves racing here and five furlongs is his thing so watch for a better run. EDGE OF MIDNIGHT (2) lacked a turn of foot under a big weight last start. Gets some relief with the claim this time so he is one to consider. EXOREALM (9) has been freshened up and drops back to his pet track and distance. Likely improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dayu each-way or 1 x 2 in a challenging race to close the program.
