Should be a keen tempo with Magicon, Dolce Dior and Monty Be Quick prominent. LUNA BAY (8) massive drop in class fourth-up after she was snagged back from the outside draw with a struggling tenth in the G3 Adrian Knox over 2000m at Randwick. That form has been franked and set to produce here. CALIFORNIA GRASS (7) indicated she was near her top with a fast finishing second over 2000m at Rosehill in BM68 class third-up. Gets an economical run from the inside gate and shapes as a genuine winning chance. AUSSIE NATION (4) was rewarded for his consistency fourth-up with a narrow win as fav over 2100m at Gosford. Claim helps again from the awkward draw and sure to be thereabouts. GRANDINI (9) jumped in grade at latest with a respectable second from last on the turn over 2100m at Gosford. A repeat effort can see her take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Luna Bay is due for a change of luck.
