Genuine pace with Wild Pharaoh finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. FELIS CHAUS (2) win record hardly excites but looks to find his race with the claim. Closed strongly with the 60kg for a game second over 1200m at the Gold Coast. Tempo suits and no excuses today. DIRTY DOES IT (5) progressive gelding unlucky not to have a few more wins on the CV. Jumped in trip when he raced on the speed for a close-up second over 1206m at Port Macquarie. Great chance to take this out from the barrier. THE MAGIC MAN (1) thereabouts of late and is another due for a change of luck. Worked hard early with the 60.5kg and never surrendered when second over 1006m at Port Macquarie. Will push forward again from the gate and give a stack of cheek. SINFULL (11) finally drawn a decent barrier and has the upside to take this out. Covered plenty of ground in the run with a gritty third over 1125m at Grafton. That followed a win at Grafton the start prior. Expected to go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,5,1,11.
