Genuine tempo with Fort William to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Open race to close out the card. GAMBINO (5) wasn't too far away in town when resuming and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Gets some weight off with the 2kg claim and should be right there at the business end. ARALETTA (9) boasts a win and a placing from three spins around this circuit and is another to get some weight relief. Sure to prove tough to hold out. FORT WILLIAM (4) grows a leg for hoop Baker who has two wins and three placings from just seven steers. Top-three contender on best form. VINTAGE VIBES (10) has put back-to-back wins together this campaign and is racing high on confidence. Has to be included in calculations. PRESSALONG (7) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,9,4,10.
