On Pace runners, 2, 3, 4. SPLASH OF STEEL conceded too great a start first up at Scone in a race that has produced strong form. He did keep trying in defeat and stepping up from only 1000m is expected to aid his cause today. BLACKSTONE PLAZA was anything but disgraced on debut at Gunnedah when he was competing against older opposition. He again meets mostly older opponents today but he can rise to the occasion. BREAKOUT had too much to do from a wide gate on the Illawarra Grange track last start. He is another who takes on mostly older opposition today however, he isn't out of place. MEGA PIXEL performed below expectations at Scone when the track was heavy. Blinkers have now been added to his gear and his latest effort can be forgiven. LUKE SKYWALKER must be forgiven for a latest Gatton outing when there were excuses for a costly unplaced effort. He now presents for the first time since a stable change with scope to improve.
