|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Hurstville Zagreb and Asgarda. HYPERBOLIC (7) Group placed mare ready to peak third-up from the good gate. Covered a stack of ground and had nothing left in the tank with a battling eleventh over 1400m at Randwick in BM100 class. Cross-over nose band comes off and has a good record on her home track. Value chance. ESTREMO (19) Caulfield Guineas Prelude winner who ran on late from a lengthy break to run fifth over 1200m at Randwick. Undefeated second-up and looking for this trip and further now. Each way. SURFIN' BIRD (15) progressive mare who returns from a lengthy break. Big jump in class with a gritty on-pace fifth over 1400m at Flemington in the G3 HK Jockey Club Stakes last November. Fitted with the two trials and can offset the sticky draw with the claim. Go close. OUR QUEEN (16) back in trip from the awkward gate with a fast finishing fourth over 1200m at Randwick. Ugly map and prefer the place. SPIONE (11) good first-up winner who doesn't get the same set-up today. Slim place chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hyperbolic each way.
