---|---|---|---|---|
Lively Lass and Cool Fizz to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. COOL FIZZ (5) just battled fresh up when well in the market and looked to need the run. She strips fitter and slides down a grade for this, so can improve quickly. PALACE KEYS (4) is a Toowoomba visitor who will be peaking third up. He is s speedy type when he is fit and with the aid of a 2-kilo claim, he won't be far away in this at some value. BAD BOY DARBY (8) was making up steady ground last start at Grafton and has been a winner third up in the past. He also has won his only start on this track and is worthy of serious consideration. MY ONE (9) the latest effort was a fair sixth over 1000m at Tamworth. Good sign last time and shouldn’t be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cool Fizz to win.
