Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. ALBERTA BOUND (1) was a most impressive winner last time over 950m at this track, putting the best part of 8L to her nearest rival. No tougher this time and is clearly the one to beat. WORTHY GEM (3) is a gelding by Worthy Cause on debut. Has impressed in his two trial wins and looks set for a bright start. RAAR (2) is a first-starter by Encryption on debut for the Bailey camp. Was safely held at the trials but gets the key booking of gun hoop in Wiggins. Have to consider off that alone. Watch for market support. SCARLENA (6) is a Dubious filly on debut for the Holt stable. Chased gamely into the placings in a Townsville trial in readiness. Can make her presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alberta Bound to win again.

The start before that didn't do much in the run home; 5th of 9 at this track 2&3yo Mdn on November 16 over 950m, 7 len behind Alberta Bound with 56kg at $31. Might find this a bit tough. |
