SCHWEPPES ALL AGED STAKES 1400m Track: HEAVY 10 Rain (Max: 18) Rail: Out 7m 1000m-W/Post. Out 5m Remainder. (Pent: 5.45).
Buffalo River should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. ESPIONA (9) proven Group 1 winning mare at her lethal best this track and trip. Held up badly before getting out when the race was over to finish sixth over 1200m in the G1 TJ Smith Stakes here two weeks ago. Raced without luck at all three runs this time in and will take stopping today. CHAIN OF LIGHTNING (8) is racing in career-best form and chasing her third-straight victory after scoring a surprise neck win over 1200m in the G1 TJ Smith Stakes here. Has won at the 1400m and gets map favours again. Surround Stakes winner SUNSHINE IN PARIS (10) returned good final figures late from well back when fifth over 1200m in the G1 TJ Smith Stakes. Near her top now and looks up to this. PRIVATE EYE (1) steps out to this trip for the first time this prep and should get the right tempo to pounce late. Looked good when a recent 822m trial winner at Warwick Farm. SUGGESTED PLAY: Espiona to win.
