The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard.
LUCK APLENTY (9) has won once in fifty-eight starts and that was three years ago but on recent form she is clearly the one to beat. Drove hard late only to miss by a whisker last start over 1250m at Taree. Nicely in with the claim and she appeals as the one to beat. RISK ASSESSMENT (4) settled too far back in the same race as Luck Aplenty at Taree last time out and was never a factor. Beaten just 2.5 lengths in a Class 1 over this distance at Port Macquarie the run before which is strong form for a race of this quality. SEE THE SAINT (1) travelled three-deep midfield before tiring first-up over 1005m at Coffs Harbour. Fitter and with a bit more luck in running today can play a big role. WANJINA ROSE (5) disappointed over 1015m at Coffs Harbour last start but can improve out to this trip. WELCOME BACK (10) has each-way claims with the help of the inside draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Luck Aplenty to score.
