Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Celestial Deal. BRING ME CHOCOLATE (13) justified the good support on debut when she finished over the top of them for a decisive victory as fav over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Looks to have the upside to progress further in this stronger contest. DIFENSIVO (7) trained locally and assess on the good win over 1000m two-back at Gosford on the heavy surface. Place best from the gate. CELESTIAL DEAL (15) worked hard early from the outside gate with a plugging fourth over 1200m at Scone. Gets a better set-up for this and stays in the calculations. REMEMBER JACK (4) has drawn well and is more than capable on best form. Has to be kept safe in his return. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bring Me Chocolate maps well and can win again.
