PENSATIVA (4) was well held in stiffer grade in a then last time over 1m at this track was prominent throughout and fought on well to finish second. Rates strongly here on last start and can find winning form this time. INVINCIBLE RED (3) turned in a modest performance when tenth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Aaron Bullock gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Likely improver with strong prospects. AUSSIE NATION (9) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at Newcastle, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. INSTEAD (8) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when third over 7f at Mudgee, beaten a long neck. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
