---|---|---|---|---|
November Falls and Byron possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. TAVS (6) progressive Dundeel gelding who warmed up late first-up with the 59.5kg when fifth over 1250m at Canterbury on August 28. Strengthened over the break and looks set for a good prep. NOVEMBER FALLS (14) tough on-pace mare kept fresh for this after failing to finish off in the heavy going when a fading fourth over 1600m here on July 27. Well drawn and the firmer surface helps. Will take catching. POWERS OF OPAL (15) Ocean Park filly still eligible for maiden company ready for this trip and further. Resumed with an eye catching fourth over 1300m at Warwick Farm on August 21. Don't underestimate after she finished sixth to Broadsiding in the LR Fernhill last time in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tavs to win.
