Fast pace with Great Week showing out and King Cornelius crossing to apply some pressure. GOODNIGHT BARLOW (8) lightly raced gelding with ability. Slowly away and covered plenty of ground in the run when sixth over 1600m at Canberra in BM65 class. Back to his right grade today and expected to bounce back. EXTRAVAGANT CHOICE (1) consistent gelding holding his form well. Drops sharply in weight again with the claim after leading throughout as fav when saluting over 1610m at the Sapphire Coast. Respect. ONE MORE THING (11) another who rises in trip after charging late from an awkward position on the turn when sixth over 1280m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Can race a little closer today from the good draw. Has the figures to take this out. KING CORNELIUS (3) drops a couple of levels for this and proven at the mile. Returned from a let up with a poor last over 1600m at Canberra in BM75 class on March 9. Strips much fitter and adds value to the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Goodnight Barlow to win.
