AU - Gosford - Race 2

KHARIF (3) kept fresh when back in trip for an eye-catching nose second over 1m at Nowra on a heavy surface. At his top now and can stalk the speed from the good gate. Ready to get off the mark. JONSON (2) improving gelding who finally comes up with a good marble. Covered a stack of ground in the run with a fighting second over 7f at Hawkesbury on June 4. Fitter now on the back-up and shapes as the main danger. FLYING PARTY (1) doesn't have to improve much to win this at start seven and will relish the 4lbs claim. Came from well back on the turn with a fast-finishing second over 7 ½f at Kembla Grange. Will appreciate the firmer surface and expected to go close. RUSKANA (4) disappointed in two runs back and can turn it around with the 6lbs weight drop. Never comfortable in the Soft (6) going with a fading eighth over 7 ¼f at Illawarra Grange. Keep safe.
