Genuine pace with Youcompleteme crossing from the outside gate in search of the lead. MOONSHINE RUN (1) resumes from a break and looks well placed this easier grade. Winner only try over this course and distance and has won fresh. Looks hard to hold out. PRIVALOVA (12) ran out of condition on the Sunshine Coast poly fresh and will strip much fitter for the first try for the new yard. Tricky gate but rolls forward and should improve sharply. FORTUNEER (3) has been knocking on the door and although this tougher gets a senior rider this time and a low draw. Worth following up. MERCHANT LADY (9) has been thereabouts the last couple. Has won this circuit and is sure to be prominent. NAILS AND PRIDE (2) is fitter for two runs back and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moonshine Run fresh.
