A solid tempo on the cards with Gold Sluice heading them off. ARCHAIC FORCE (6) desperate for a change of luck and finally drawn a decent gate. Snagged back from the wide barrier before charging late for a tenacious fifth over this course and trip. Winning rider back aboard and will race much closer to the speed. Hard to hold out. DUBAI GOLD (7) improving sprinter resuming. Massive improver at his second race start when shooting clear for a dominant victory over 1000m at Tamworth last February. Returns with the two solid trials and gets his chance from the good gate. RELEASE POINT (11) stretched out in trip last time in and capable fresh over this shorter distance. Back without a trial and look for her charging late. MONARCH EXPRESS (4) big run with the 59kg first up when coming from near last on the turn to finish fifth over 1130m at Grafton. Better gate can see him go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Archaic Force looks close to his best.
