Plenty of pressure from Runaround Sue, Tara's Reward and Drums Of War battling for the lead over Yoweri. The well-related RUNAROUND SUE (5) (half to G3 winner Thiamandi) loves this track and trip with two wins and two placings from six attempts and will have come on with that first-up placing now in the locker. Gets 2kg weight relief with the claim and should be able to sit up on speed from the inside marble. Will prove very hard to hold out. YOWERI (3) grows a leg for hoop Cartwright who has three wins from as many steers. Has to be included out of the champion Gollan barn. KING OF GERALDINE (10) has placed over this course and distance and maps nicely for this from gate two. In the mix. DRUMS OF WAR (7) will be better for two runs back and may earn some minor money at odds. TARA'S REWARD (9) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Runaround Sue.
