Loads of early pressure, primarily from Norton Road and Overextend. OVEREXTEND (2) kept fresh for this after tiring late when jumping in grade to run seventh over 1200m at Canterbury in BM72 company on April 17. Looks well placed here back to the 1100m with the 3kg claim. LADY SHENANIGANS (9) a month between runs when back in grade for a gritty victory over 1100m at Bathurst on April 25. Down sharply in weight today with the claim and expected to take holding out. UNDIVIDED (4) underrated Rubick gelding returning from a nine-month break. Since fitted with two slick trials and looks primed for a first-up tilt. Go close. DAGON (8) improving gelding from the Maher yard at his top for this. Anchored with the 62.5kg when second over 1010m at Orange on April 19. Morgan sticks and expected to take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,9,4,8.
