Verdict

BACK TO BONDI (1) made it back-to-back wins last start at this track and trip and the form out of that race has held up well. Drawn wider this time, but he has the speed to work across and sit handy. He's a track and trip winner though and he can continue his winning ways. STREAMLINED (7) won impressively fresh before a 0.9L defeat last start at Belmont, with the rise out to 1m looking right up his alley. Will need some luck from the wide alley, but should be helped by a couple of gear changes and he can show what he's capable of. VEXATIOUS ROSE (10) flew home last start behind Back To Bondi in a strong effort and she draws a better barrier this time around. She drops in weight as well and if she can run up to her best, she'll be hard to hold out. STATEWIDE (5) won't be far away if he runs up to recent efforts. PURE MAC (3) will give them something to chase from the front and meets Back To Bondi better at the weights this time.

1	Comes in chasing a hat-trick after scoring at Belmont Park over this trip, settling just off the lead and beating Pure Mac by just over half a length. His previous win in a 3yo+ NMW1Y was stronger again, putting two lengths on Rosie Can Run as favourite. Hard to knock his recent form and can work across from thw wide alley. 1st Pick 1 Back To Bondi Jockey: Holly Nottle Trainer: Trevor Andrews J: Holly Nottle T: Trevor Andrews	143	-	-	-	16%	11/2

7	Has come back in strong order, winning a 3yo+ CG Class 3 at Belmont Park by two lengths before running third as favourite behind Streak Of God, beaten just under a length. He raced keenly early and laid in last start, yet still finished close up. Building nicely and with his progressive profile, he can land the kncokout blow at his first try over a mile. 2nd Pick 7 Streamlined Jockey: Chris Parnham Trainer: Michael Grantham J: Chris Parnham T: Michael Grantham	125	-	-	-	27%	11/4

10	Was better than fifth on paper behind Back To Bondi at Belmont Park, covering ground from well back and finishing just over a length away on soft ground. Her prior fourth to Cinque Stelle was sound enough in an open market, and she brings two wins at around 1m. Can settle a touch closer this time around and creates some interest. 3rd Pick 10 Vexatious Rose Jockey: Shaun O'donnell Trainer: Jeremy Easthope J: Shaun O'donnell T: Jeremy Easthope	90	-	-	-	14%	13/2
