Moderate pace with Norty Forty rolling to the lead and setting the tempo. OPTIONS (1) has been plying his trade in much harder Group and Listed races and should find this assignment a touch easier. Gets some well-needed weight relief with the 1.5kg claim and will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Capable of sharp improvement. TOBY'S TRUSTY (8) is one from one at this circuit and maps nicely for this from gate two. Good enough to play a major role in the outcome. NORTY FORTY (10) got a confidence-building win last time out and is ready for the step-up in trip now. Top-three aspirations. CHILLIES (2) drops back heavily in trip but should be hitting the line with gusto. SIMPLY GOLD (12) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 1,8,10.
