Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True Entire. (Pent: 5.85)  

Pace strong with Pirate and Hello Lovely leading with Tribbiani nearby. Open race to close out the card. The well-related TRIBBIANI (8) (half to 3xG1 winner Explosive Jack) continues to race well with a win two back at Coffs Harbour before finishing 1.1 lengths away in third last time over 1200m at this track. Should park just off the speed and expecting a bold showing. KIRORO PEAK (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a long neck from the winner in second over 2200m at Eagle Farm. This is a touch easier and is nicely placed to maintain the form. THINK LIKE PADDY (1) is one from one around this circuit, draws low and gets some weight relief with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. GAMBINO (6) won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Tribbiani.
