Anticipate Rubilicious, Bifurcation and Capital Design to set a strong tempo. BIFURCATION (8) did some work early after a rough getaway then the effort told late in the piece when resuming over this distance at Newcastle last start. Backed from $2.30 into odds-on that day so she was expected to win. In the right race to make amends. LOVE YOU ANYWAY (6) is a 13-start maiden who has been freshened up since closing well for second over this trip at Newcastle five weeks ago. Subsequent trial winner who will be tough to beat back in a country maiden. MOKE LAKE (1) has been in the money five times but just missed the placings most recently over 1000m at this venue. Weighed in at both runs over 900m. Good each-way hope. FINAL GIFT (11) should be about the mark first-up from a short break. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bifurcation to break through.
