Just a modest tempo anticipated. LOST YA SOCK (11) clearly strengthened up over the break and will relish the extra ground. Failed to surrender on the line when a game third over 1400m at Corowa. Near her top and brings the right figures to take this out. THINK I DO (13) closed strongly at her third run back when a narrow second over 1660m at Moruya. Backs-up quickly and gets weight relief with the claim. Genuine top three prospect. BLOOMIN' HELL (6) trained on the track and up to the mile for the first time when an eye catching second at Dubbo. Will go back again from the draw and produce late. I AM SMILING (8) frustrating mare having her first start for the Brett Robb stable. Kept fresh and can surprise here with the claim. PONTIAC (3) best performance
in seven career starts when running into the minor money at Moruya over the 1660m. Well drawn and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lost Ya Sock to take catching.
