Plenty of pace with Go Grayson Go and Isivivane up front, pressured by King Pelles and Gimmefabulous. KING PELLES (1) resumes and hasn't raced since the Grade 1 Summer Cup. Well placed this class and should go close despite the big weight. DOWN BY THE RIVER (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.75 lengths over 1750m at this track. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Big chance once again. GIMMEFABULOUS (6) has registered two minor placings from three runs this campaign. A neck from the winner in second last start over 1400m at Greyville. Taking on a better field but she is capable of running another bold race. ISIVIVANE (4) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Greyville two starts back then scored by a head as public elect last time out over 1600m at Greyville All Weather. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
