Slick pace with Palmetto finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. HALF YOURS (13) exciting gelding expected to graduate quickly to Group level this time in. Returns from a let up after recording amazing figures when a slick 4.5 len winner as fav over 2400m in the LR Caloundra City Cup at the Sunshine Coast. Back without a trial and will be dominant late. PALMETTO (3) strips fitter and sits on the speed after knocking up late with a tidy fourth on resumption over 1400m here. Bourke sticks with the claim and doesn't have to improve much to take this out. ESTADIO MESTALLA (4) tough gelding deep into the prep who backs-up quickly after being run down late when third over 1400m in the Goulburn Cup last Sunday. Will prove hard to get past. OUR GOLD HOPE (15) above average mare who comes to hand quickly. Excellent return and raced with distinction in Group class last prep. SUGGESTED PLAY: Half Yours and Palmetto in a tough contest.
