---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of first starters engaged which makes for a tricky map. It is reasonable to assume a genuine tempo over this sprint course. SHALAA GOLD (8) classy gelding expected to get off the mark today at start four. Strong return when sitting on the good tempo for a fighting second over 1100m at Wyong on October 31. Strips fitter now and should prove too slick for these from the low draw. HOUDINI SPIRIT (4) Harry Angel gelding resuming after racing in stronger company last time in. Fitted with the one soft trial and the cross-over nose band goes on for this. Genuine top three contender. BLUE ILLUSION (2) showed good early dash from the sticky draw on resumption when a tiring second over 1000m at Kembla Grange on November 5. Further improved and look for him doing his best work late. BLANC DE NOIR (11) is a Capitalist filly out of a War Pass mare on debut for the Michael Freedman stable. Had the four trials in readiness for this and expected to be well-educated. Can play a leading role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shalaa Gold to win.
