Third Base and Harbour Gold should set a strong clip. SOLAR BLAST (5) in good order for the new yard and winning rider hops back aboard today. Won well two-back, then jumped in class with a game third over 1100m at Armidale. Maps well again and looks hard to stop with the key jockey change. BULLION HUNTER (6) is a distance specialist with the upside to win this third-up. Showed good early gate speed with a solid second over 1000m at Scone. Fitter now and can overcome the awkward gate again. Each way. IKNOWYOU (10) has frustrated the stable in three runs back and deserves another chance with the 56.5kg. Held his ground to the line with the 61kg to run seventh over 1000m at Tamworth. Each way contender. NOT WRITTEN OFF (1) handy mare who returns from a seven month break. Comes to hand quickly with a sound record over this course and distance. Back with the one good trial placing over 800m here. Keeps safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,6,10,1.
