Moderate pace with Lulu A Natural taking up the running ahead of Think Pi and Apache Dream. IT'S A WRITTEN (8) is a 16-start maiden whose most recent effort over 1400m was disappointing. Turned in an eye-catcher the before over this course and distance when resuming. Big chance with a repeat of that effort. INVINCIBOO (1) came to Armidale for the first time recently and went close to a maiden win after travelling closer to the pace than usual. Nicely drawn so another big run looks on the cards. LULU A NATURAL (9) hasn't been all that far away at each run this prep. Blinkers coming off today may have an impact. THINK PI (2) hasn't fired a shot this time in work but might surprise off a seven-week let-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: It's A Written to shed the maiden status today.
