Pattera and Uprise can be prominent. NAVIOS (2) ready to peak at his third run back after closing strongly with a respectable sixth over 1100m at Bathurst. Can sit just off the good tempo and assert his class late with the 3kg claim coming in handy. SHADDAP (8) tongue tie comes off and near his top third up. Likely to be taken back from the draw and good enough to take this out. ROYAL BOMBADIER (7) unlucky not to have a few more wins to his CV after racing well on the provincial tracks. Proven second up and his second at Gosford over 1000m had merit. NEVER FAILS (3) comes out of a good Highway contest and gets an easier setup today. Worthy contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,8,7,3.
