GRAND PIERRO (3) lines up on the back of a 4. 5 lengths eighth over 1m3 1/2f at Newcastle. Goes well at this journey with two wins from three starts. Nicely placed and expected to go well. DEMOLISH (6) was prominent from the outset when second over 7½f in the G3 RJ Peters Stakes at this track last time out. Easier assignment this time. Among the leading chances this field. CAPTAIN PLUTO (2) knuckled down strongly to get within a head of the winner in second last start over 1m2 1/2f at this track. William Pike who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Expected to measure up. BUCKETS RIDGE (1) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten half a length, over 1m2 1/2f at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Top three prospects.
