---|---|---|---|---|
Redbreast should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. AGITA (2) third-up today and has won third-up in the past. Will appreciate the sharp drop in grade after failing to handle the heavy (9) conditions when 11th over 1600m in the G3 Carbine Club Stakes at Randwick on April 6. Drawn to get the right run and gets conditions to suit today. UNTIL VALHALLA (7) lightly raced Snitzel filly who comes out of a strong race after resuming with a close-up fourth to Kadinsky Abstract over 1200m at Warwick Farm on April 1. Gets map favours again and sure to be strong through the line. BELLENTH (8) promising gelding who did well to finish third on debut, then backed that up with a nice win last time over 1350m at Wyong. Has plenty of ability and is one of the chances. MISSILE SEEKER (4) returns from a 29 day let-up. Drifted back early before finishing a close sixth here over 1400m on March 27. Likely to get back from the draw and charge late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,7,8,4.
