Smashing Time should find the front with Mother Goose and Zounaka on his heels. SMASHING TIME (1) gave us a glimpse of what he's capable of when leading throughout and smashing the clock over 1200m at Gosford in this grade. Kept fresh and will take stopping again with Fitzgerald's 3kg claim. SHE SWINGS (9) improving filly who can go quickly through the grades this prep. Rattled late in the heavy going with an unlucky second over 1100m in this class first-up. Proven second-up and can finish over the top of these. MOTHER GOOSE (3) will find this more to her liking and has solid credentials over this track and trip. Knocked up late to run ninth over 1200m here in BM78 class on a heavy surface first-up. Can bounce back at the each-way price. ZOUNAKA (4) returns from a 39-day let-up after scoring a dominant on-pace win at Illawarra Grange over 1150m. Ready for this from the good gate and don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box trifecta 1,9,3,4.
