Expecting Bee Two to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. Open race to close out the card. LOADED GUN (6) has only missed a drum once in five starts around this circuit and is usually thereabouts. Comes into calculations now with a host of scracthings and rates the testing material against this line-up. BORN FEARLESS (7) goes well for rider Fazackerley who has a win and four placings from just five steers. Certainly has to be kept in mind. The well-related NEW HAMPSHIRE (2) (half to G1 winner Levendi) gets a stack of weight relief with the 3kg claim and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Top-three aspirations. MISHANI SUSPECT (12) next best from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Loaded Gun to go bang.
