Five Of Us to take up the running at a moderate tempo.
PROMISES MADE (4) is unlucky to still be a maiden hitting the top-four in three of her past four outings and strikes a very winnable contest here. Will be rock-hard fit for this and must be respected out of the champion Chris Waller yard. Rates the testing material. CLASSIC SHIRAZ (8) placed over this course and distance two back before not being disgraced in town last time out. Looms as the main danger. LITTLE LUNCH (6) has gotten better with each run this time in work and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Top-three credentials. PEPE (3) brings NSW formlines to the table and should find this assignment a touch easier. In the mix. MR RACING (2) next best with the Vandyke/Wiggins combination. SUGGESTED PLAY: Promises Made to break through.
