GOING: S(5)

SCHWEPPES CHAIRMAN'S QUALITY 2600m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.43)  

Genuine pace with Alalcance taking up the running ahead of Kinesiology and Laspirit Deeler. ALALCANCE (3) tenacious on pace mare chasing her third straight victory. Keeps raising the bar after crushing her rivals when leading throughout for a smart win over 2400m in the G3 NE Manion Cup at Rosehill. Clark sticks and she will get map favours again from the gate. Will prove hard to run down. WALTHAM (7) well placed at latest when rounding them up with ridiculous ease to score a soft win over 2400m at the Gold Coast last time out. Ran a narrow third in the St Leger here last year and peaking at the right time. BIRDMAN (12) fourth up for this and has started hard in the market at all three runs this prep. Blinkers go on and he will relish this trip and further. ATHABASCAN (2) tough gelding on song for the Sydney Cup. Won the St Leger last year and is progressing nicely. STRATHTAY (11) turned in a slashing Sydney Cup trial when returning good closing splits to run third over 2400m in the G3 N E Manion Cup at Rosehill. Conditions suit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alalcance to take catching again.
