---|---|---|---|---|
Looking to Borlotti, Zounile and No Second Thoughts as likely leaders in a keen contest early. AVONVIEW (5) stretched out in trip for the first time when a solid win at Canberra, before jumping in class when a plugging seventh over 2000m at Hawkesbury on September 12. Finds his race today and should have little trouble getting the 2200m. NO SECOND THOUGHTS (6) up sharply in trip when a dominant 1.75 len on pace winner over 1800m at Bathurst on September 15. Won with plenty in hand at latest and can go on with the job again. FINAL COMMENT (3) comes out of a strong race after being nailed late when a head second over 2000m at Hawkesbury on September 12. This is much easier and look for him hitting the line strongly. ZOUNILE (4) racing in career best form and has an excellent record at this track. Rolled along in front and edged out late when second over 1600m at Narromine Bm58 on September 23. Brings the right figures to figure prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,6,3,4.
