NUCLEAR FORCE has found his niche with blinkers on and wasn't winning out of turn at a higher level last time. He should remain competitive at this grade under a 5-point penalty but has to lug a hefty 61kg around 2400m. That won't be easy. Hard-knocking mares ANGEL'S WISH and IDEAL FUTURE are distance-suited and proven at this level, so they should acquit themselves competitively. The latter ran into traffic over 2000m last time and will enjoy this trip, so is the value play under a 2.5kg claimer. GUY ALEXANDER, FLAG BEARER and MANZ KNIGHT come next.
