Without a great deal of early pace evident The Agent may lead the way over Coral Cove. CREATOR OF WORLD (3) progressive gelding with his hoof on the till. Had to go back from the outside draw and produced excellent closing splits with a narrow third over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Gets the right run today and expected to get off the mark at start nine. CELESTIAL GRACE (8) turned in an encouraging run first-up, settling back from the sticky gate before winding up to finish fourth over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Returned in good order and leading apprentice retains the ride. Shapes as the main danger. SHE CAN SALSA (11) raced below her best last time when she failed to handle the soft (7) going with a battling seventh over 1600m at Goulburn. Comes back in trip with the blinkers and tongue-tie going on. Look for her closing strongly from the awkward gate. CLANWILLIAM (1) tongue-tie goes on after he showed a ton of fight to secure second over 1600m at Kembla Grange in a Super Maiden. Was five-weeks between runs last start and strips fitter now. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Creator Of World can stamp his authority.
