Strong tempo with Colorado Tycoon, Bobbin Back and The Big Ticket leading the way. Very average Maiden. CARMINE (1) fourth-up for this and brings the strongest form after finishing a close-up seventh over 1350m at Wyong. A repeat of that effort can see him get off the mark. COLORADO TYCOON (4) just over a month between runs when having his first start for the Sprague yard with a tiring seventh over 1000m here a month ago. Extra trip suits. BOBBIN BACK (6) led into the straight when back in trip with a fading ninth over 1250m at Taree. Strips fitter and the extra trip should help her cause. RISK AND FAMOUS (3) had excuses second-up from the poor draw with a battling eighth over 1305m at Tuncurry. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. PRATIBHA (10) looks the best of the rest despite drawing out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Carmine should prove too good for these.
