Solid tempo with Gregarious leading from Exposition and Quick Shot. Tough to nail down. The Campton yard has three acceptors and may hold the key. GREGARIOUS (9) rates the best of them and best to forgive his latest effort when a post-race exam revealed a slow recovery. His form prior stacks right up and he has a sharp record this track /trip. Has a handy 2kg claim and will skip over to the speed. HULKAMANIA (2) has been narrowly beaten at the track his last two and was a short-priced favourite over this distance last time. He also comes back a grade and is on a 7-day return. The wide gate is the niggle, but the 3kg claim is handy. ALL'S FAIR (3) has been going around in stronger races on turf tracks. She needs a good ride, but flies this course/distance and also deserves plenty of consideration. KAREEM (7) missed a whisker in the Hulkamania race, but draws very wide. The chances may not end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Gregarious.
