Club Soda will be prominent along with Casual Witness. Casual Witness and Club Soda will go hard and ensure a very keen sprint contest. Watch for any betting support surrounding Matt Dunn's first starter THUNDEROUS STRIKE. This Smart Missile colt has not trialled since March but has showed ability. The dam has two winners from two runners. SMARTYPY has transferred to Chris Munce since running on powerfully to finish a very close 4th over 1000m at Gosford 18 days ago. Lightly raced mare whose NSW provincial form should measure up favourably here. CASUAL WITNESS improved out of sight last time out when a strong 3rd over 900m at the Gold Coast. Capable of further improvement at just her third race start. GRACE OF MONACO is in the mix also. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thunderous Strike for the win but include Smartypy in the quinella.
