---|---|---|---|---|
Anticipating a stack of early pressure with many of these juveniles facing the starter for the first time. IMPERIAL FORCE (2) is a $1.6 million yearling purchase who started in the red on debut last time out over 1100m at the Kensington track but could only manage to finish second after looking to have every chance. Needs a bit of luck from the wide gate but with the race experience on board he is the testing material. CATOGGIO (1) led but found one better in the heavy going over 1200m at Kembla recently. Will take full advantage of the inside gate and with blinkers applied today he will be hard to peg back. DARK ARTS (4) last raced in late December when fourth on debut over 1200m at Randwick after meeting with solid market support. Finds a softer target to launch this prep so he comes right under notice. MONTE VEEBEE (10) trialled well at Warwick Farm recently and is one to watch closely from the Price stable. Big watch on Waller debutant GREAT WHITE SHARK (5) with McDonald up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Imperial Force to win.
