STARTS NOW (5) impressed when surging late first-up on the Parks circuit and looks primed to go one better here. Strips fitter, draws well, and gets the services of Toeroek again. The rise to the mile looks ideal. Hard to beat. THERMODYNAMIC (7) didn’t fire fresh but has trialled well and has more to offer second-up. Has the speed to offset the wide gate and could pinch this if left alone. Worth another chance. BURNING BRIGHT (15) is ultra-consistent this campaign and continues to race well without breaking through. Boasts a fitness edge and is in the mix. HEAD OF THE HERD (8) is another fit horse. Has improved the more he's raced this campaign and draws well for Nunes. Not without a shot. IT'SBRUCE (6) will settle rearward but possesses a strong turn of foot. Needs things to fall his way but could flash late. Keep safe.
