Moderate tempo with Loose Unit leading the way and a few others keeping in touch.
LOOSE UNIT (2) is a very consistent gelding who was a game third fresh up on the poly track here nearly 3 weeks ago. All of his form has been on the turf track, particularly on this one. He is down slightly in grade, but with a 3kg claim, he carries 1.5kg less this time. Hard to beat. I'M HEROIC (7) is usually thereabouts at this level, and his recent brief spell would have done him no harm. He has the advantage of the pole position and loses nothing with Paul Hamblin in the saddle for the first time. Watch closely. HOLY FLASH (9) travelled well during the running fresh up at Dalby after making a tardy start, and fought on bravely to finish fourth, when clearly needing the hit-out. He strips fitter and is capable of taking out a race like this. JUNGLE JET (1) is resuming from a spell over a trip that is short of his best, but good stayers can sprint well when fresh, and this fellow is no exception. He has the aid of a 2kg claim, and can't be ruled out of a top 3 finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Loose Unit each way.
