Not much early speed on paper and Charleroi is the most likely leader. CHARLEROI (1) is deep into her maiden campaign but continues to race well. Started favourite when a game runner-up over 1600m at Gosford last start. Loves it wet and drops in grade today so despite the big weight he should get the job done. STORM PARK (7) has closed off well without threatening in his two runs this time in work, the latest over 1500m at Hawkesbury. Finished second in a Class 1 over the mile at this stage last prep. Ready to find some form. GREAT POINT (5) stormed home to win her maiden over 1400m at Tamworth three back but has struggled in a couple of subsequent Highways. Good wet tracker who can bounce back in this more suitable contest. OAKFIELD MAMSELLE (2) has been plain in two runs this prep at the provincials. Back in class today so worth one more chance. BUSH TELEGRAPH (4) can improve dropping back in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Charleroi.
