Plenty of pace from the outset with Peschiera and Stallone leading the charge. THREE ARROWS (3) no excuses today on an improving track fifth-up. Covered ground early up on the speed before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at Newcastle. Zac Lloyd takes the reins and race fitness can see him score a long overdue win. FIFTYFIVECHEVY (4) slashing return from back in the field with an unlucky second over 1435m at Moruya. Sprints equally as well second-up and has genuine winning prospects. ALL MACHIAVELLIAN (9) returns from a 40-day let-up. Chipped away late over the 1600m when third at Kembla Grange in slightly stronger grade. Will be ridden for luck from the gate and not to be overlooked. PESCHIERA (11) better showing at latest when she showed good early speed before folding up in the straight to finish third over 1400m at Newcastle. Maps well and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Three Arrows looks to find his target race fifth-up.
