---|---|---|---|---|
Very little pace on paper. CABACA (5) was having just her second run since transferring to Chris Waller when a game second over 1550m at the Kensington track a fortnight ago. Like the engagement of Nash - looks ideally placed to open her NSW account. DESTINY'S DELIGHT (6) went to the front in a change of tactics and proceeded to score narrowly last time out on a soft track over 1500m at Kembla. Handy mare who should hold that form now. OFFSPRING (7) comes back in distance and class after disappointing at Wagga recently. Good wet tracker who has only missed the placings once in six runs at the mile. Expecting sharp improvement. Veteran FROM THE BUSH (3) has done nothing in two runs this prep but can make progress here with the blinkers on. TENDERIZE (8) has been about the mark of late. McDonald taking over is noteworthy. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks perfect for Cabaca.
