Speed anticipated from Diamond Meteor, So Hard To Catch and Zar Gold. An open race with speed to burn here in the shape of Diamond Meteor, Zar Gold and Almalita all chasing clear air from the jump. DIAMOND METEOR looks a strong chance amongst the stable's three runners. Stuck on well first up over a similar trip and has been very consistent to date. On pace type suited by a close in draw and the form from latest run looks sound. BAYSA flashed home on debut for the Waller camp and should be suited by a lot of the expected go forward action. Steps out over a similar trip and kept up to the mark with a recent quiet trial. FIERY EMINENCE has been placed in all three runs to date this campaign at provincial level. Up in trip now and shouldn't be too far off the leaders in running. Has claims in a tough race. Almalita has a bit of class about her and resumes after an interstate switch whilst Hold All Tickets is back in class. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing History Repeats.
