Expecting a genuine tempo.
Small field with plenty of depth to the form. CASINO SHAW (5) settled handy then kicked away to score a decisive win over 1405m at this track last start. Equally at home over this sharper journey. Yet to miss the frame in four runs at this circuit and with just 55kgs today she is a proper chance again. INCHYRA (4) has lived up to her potential this prep with two game wins here on home turf, the latest in a BM58 over today's trip. Will enjoy a lovely run from the good gate and the hat trick is within sights. RIDE THE RIVER (1) won two back at Kembla then missed the kick and had to work hard early before fading at the end of 1000m at Albury most recently. Freshened up and has enough talent to give this a mighty shake. ZOUCAT (6) returned from a six-month spell with a dogged win over this distance at Queanbeyan 12 days ago. Speedy customer who will be prominent for a long way. SHEZAIN (3) strips fitter and will appreciate the extra 200m today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Casino Shaw just on top in a competitive little race.
