Expecting Arduous to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. ARDUOUS (2) broke through for a dominant maiden win when last seen at Goulburn, relishing the heavy ground to race away and score by 3.3 lengths. This looks another suitable race and with similar conditions expected she goes on top. SUPER SUGOI (4) is knocking on the door, close up in similar races at his past two starts. This looks a suitable race and he should take holding out. CASABLANCA EXPRESS (1) has been okay in two runs back from a spell, beaten 3.5 lengths here last week. Fitter again and can improve into the finish. THINK ROMANCE (8) ran quite well fresh at Hawkesbury before an even effort last time at Grafton. She has placed on heavy ground before and could improve here. LUCKY BAY (6) is a place chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arduous to win.
