Plenty of pace with Hotchi and Eclair Awesome leading from Phoenix Power. ANTILOCAPRA (7) has returned in good order this preparation. Won well first up at Scone then ploughed through the heavy (10) conditions when a game third over 1400m at Scone. Comes here in peak condition and looks up to this with the drop in weight. ECLAIR AWESOME (6) Sydney-trained filly who went to Albury at her third career run for a commanding victory over the 1400m. Leading rider engaged and will relish the extra trip. SHARON DRIVE (2) up in class from the wide gate and finished off okay when seventh over 1400m at Randwick Kensington. Gets the gun run today and has genuine top three claims. MEET ME IN BONDI (1) finally drawn a decent gate after being plagued by wide barriers at his three runs this time in. Worked hard from the wide draw and failed to give up when a tough second over 1500m at Newcastle. Maps well and not without each way prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,6,2,1.
