Starsheena, Condor and Gulf Of Finland to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. Tricky. REWARD THE SHERIFF (4) resumed at Bendigo with a solid effort in a 70 and then raced forward again winning here this grade/distance. He keeps improving and fitter can take the next step. CONDOR (5) has switched from Hong Kong and was last seen winning at Kranji 188 days ago. He's been gelded and has impressed in the lead-ups. Has an awkward gate but has to be kept very safe. BEFORE THE WAR (13) peaks off narrow defeats and maps for a soft run. He's been kept on the fresh side and has solid each-way claims. BON SHADOW (7) went well enough at Echuca in stronger and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Reward The Sheriff.
