BOLD ROUGE (2) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1m2f at Taree, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at Grafton at the previous outing. Has the talent to return to the winner's list. PRINCE CARLOS (3) led into the straight last start over 1m1f at Port Macquarie on a heavy surface but could not sustain the pressure and finished sixth. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will give a great sight. BEG ME (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1m1/2f at Wellington, beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth. Is unbeaten in two starts here. Faces an easier assignment so he is perfectly placed to score. TYCOON LAD (4) showed good early dash and led for much of the way before weakening out of it when 29 lengths away in sixth over 1m2 1/2f at Tamworth. Among the chances.
