|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate pace only with He Da Boss leading Laid Back Bon. HE DA BOSS (1) fought on well for second last start over 1100m at Toowoomba, making it two minor placings in a row. Will appreciate the drop in grade. Sure to be competitive. VERY DEMURE (10) returns from a spell of nine weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished eighth at Sunshine Coast over 1000m when first-up last time in work. In the mix. OKANUI (3) resumes but was readied with a nice trial and placed in the lone attempt at this track and trip. FABARA (6) is a Graff filly from Classy Manhattan on debut. Fitter for two trials. Worth watching for any market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,10,3.
