|
Solid tempo anticipated with Sosino taking charge. SOSINO (4) was sent to Brisbane by the Archibald stable last start and the move paid immediate dividends with the six-year-old bolting in over the mile at Doomben. Gets in with 2 kg less today after McMurray's claim and there should be further improvement to come at just the third start of the campaign. DIANA'S AFFAIR (11) hasn't won for almost a year but recent efforts have been sound. Had an eight-week let-up before the last start third in open company over 1350m at this track. Fitter and is more at home in this company. ADDITION (14) made a rare visit to the winner's stall last time out, scoring over 1640m at Doomben in a Class 4. Yet to miss the frame in three Ipswich runs so expect her to be prominent again. Perennial placegetter I'M HEROIC (6) overcame an awkward start to finish second over 1400m at the Gold Coast recently. Won't mind the extra trip - sound each-way hope. PISTON REBEL (9) has won three from four here at the trip so he must be included in calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sosino to win again.
