Thinking Gold and Captains Choice possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. THINKING GOLD (7) resumed over a mile in good order narrowly beaten at Pakenham. Proven second-up and has more to offer. The extra metres will suit him on his way to longer trips. Maps for a soft run and Nolen sticks aboard the Moody-Coleman-trained galloper. VIVACISSIMO (8) is also in good hands and is a threat. Peaks off three placed efforts and is back a touch in grade off the latest. The 3kg claim brings her right into it. BROOKLYN BOSS (5) will find this more suitable than The Heath, and fitter again is in the mix. BLISTERING (10) rattled home last time to just miss. Expect to see her charging hard late again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Thinking Gold.
