METALLIC RULER (7) scored two back at Wyong but was below his best last time when fifth over 1200m at Warwick Farm. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DEBELLO (2) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and found the front, holding the lead for most of the way and sticking on well to finish second over 1500m at Hawkesbury. Expected to measure up again. BRAVE ONE (8) resuming from a five months break after finishing fourth at Warwick Farm and resumes here a gelding. Fitter for placing in a recent Rosehill trial. Rates among the leading chances. CLEAR PROOF (5) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Warwick Farm, beaten 5.5 lengths into eighth. Worth noting Chad Schofield goes aboard. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
