|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong gallop with Stormbringer and Sacred Mistress taking up the running over Sure Intentions. Another difficult Highway. MOUNT BONA (9) lightly raced mare heading in the right direction. Produced a solid set of figures as fav when saluting over the mile at Scone in C1 grade. Gets in light with Nock's claim and can surprise some of her more fancied rivals. SANTATIME (3) building a solid winning CV and deserves his chance in town. Rounded them up effortlessly with the 59kg when saluting over 1600m at Gosford in a C1. Jason Collett retains the ride in a fairly average Highway. STORMBRINGER (7) has come back a more consistent gelding this prep and looking for the 1500m now. Sat on the speed with the 60.5kg when a determined winner over 1300m at Canberra in a TAB Federal. Will roll forward and prove hard to run down. ZUCCHERO (2) excellent return with the 63kg when a gritty nose winner over 1300m at Scone. Gets map favours with the big weight drop. Leading prospect. WRITE YOUR OWN (8) raced without luck all prep and not without each way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mount Bona and Santatime to fight it out.
