Ishikari is expected to burn across and lead from the wide draw. OCCULT (3) underrated gelding undefeated at his last three starts. Returned from a lengthy break with a surprise victory over 1000m at Muswellbrook in C2 class. Tackles the 1400m for the first time with the winkers going on. Expected to go on with it this prep. CRUIZINGTHESTARS (12) undefeated in three career starts and deserves her place in town. Sat off the fast tempo before she rounded them up with ease along the inside over 1300m at Canberra in a fast run contest. Gives every indication of running the trip. Go close. CHRISTA (7) classy mare who finally draws a decent gate. Went back from the awkward gate with a respectable ninth over 1450m at Muswellbrook in C3 grade with the 59.5kg. Placed in this class last prep and gets map favours. Value player. RED RAGS TO BULLS (11) total forgive from the wide draw second-up with a plugging twelfth over 1400m at Scone in the Northern Wild Card. Well placed with the claim and don't dismiss from the sticky gate. ISHIKARI (10) stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,12,7,11.
