RACE ONE
TOPNOTCH MACH (7) has started twice since arriving in Qld and has started from the 2nd line in both. 1st up from gate 9 he was sent to the breeze early over the 2040m and was in for the fight when 3m from the winner JAX NAVARO. Against the tempo last start, he just needs some luck here.
GREGS LEGACY (1) was a winner here 4 starts back when spearing across from gate 4 to find the pegs and once taking control kept the tempo strong in scoring a comfortable win in good time. His 3 runs since have been in much stronger company at AP and back to the triangle can capitalise.
PRECIOUS CULLEN (2) was after a hat-trick of wins here 2 starts back when landing gate 5 he was wide early to finish mid-field. Tough from the breeze last start from gate 6, he can challenge.
TOOK YOUR TIME (8) chased gamely from the pocket trail at AP last start to hold on for the bronze behind TOM ME GUN. With the option to look for the pegs early he can chime in to the exotics.
