Maxandus and On Hold possess good early speed. IKNOWYOU (2) above average gelding starting to build a solid winning CV. Covered ground when back in trip for a slick victory over this course and distance with the 4kg claimer aboard. Meets some better types this time but has the ability to test this field. SOLAR BLAST (3) meets Iknowyou better at the weights after launching from back in the field with an eye-catching third over this track and trip. Genuine player who can round these up. BOOMTIME NOW (6) hard fit for this and has solid claims after he demolished a maiden field over 950m at Moree. Shaping up nicely and has genuine top-three prospects. KAWATIRI (8) complete mystery from the inside gate when a disappointing twelfth over 950m at Moree. Assess on the good win two-back and stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Iknowyou and Solar Blast shapes as the two leading contenders.
