CANYA SYDNEY (3) was prominent early off a low draw but weakened and dropped out when 7th over 401m at this track in Grade 5 company. Better than last start and worth following up. BIG SHOT (8) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 5th (18.23) at Richmond Straight. Comes through a solid form race last start. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. BY THE BOOK (5) comes off an average effort last start when eighth at this track over 401m behind Energy Wave (23.59) in a Grade 5. Key player if finds best. DEAL CLOSER (1) is fresh from a short break and ready to run well.
