Strong tempo with Lady Burlesque, Nucleaire and Nodefence leading the way. HARRY (1) has returned in good order this prep, catching the eye first-up when letting down strongly to just miss here then following it up with a strong-chasing minor placing at Dubbo last time. Peaking now and is the one to beat. ALABAMA HAMMER (3) is an Alabama Express filly on debut for the McFarlane camp. Showed good signs in her sole lead-up trial, scoring at Gosford. Bright start anticipated. NUCLEAIRE (5) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1000m at Parkes after being in contention on the bend. This is a nice race and can find winning form. LADY BURLESQUE (6) dropped out of the contest quickly on debut at Wyong in a run that was just about too bad to be true. Willing to give another go. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harry to win.
