Cracking tempo with Hold On Honey and Navyonthehighway leading the way. Open race to close out the card. NAVYONTHEHIGHWAY (7) goes well for jockey Fenlon who has four wins and a placing from seven rides and again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim. Has won three from five around this circuit and can run a big race while fresh. EPIC PROPORTIONS (5) has a solid record over this distance range with three wins and four seconds from 11 attempts. Capable of a strong showing. Former Victorian BAND OF BROTHERS (14) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced down south. Respect any market confidence. SIMBU (13) gets the deadly Gollan/Lang combination and shouldn't be discounted lightly. HURTS SO GOOD (4) strips fitter second-up and may trouble the judge. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,5,14,13.
