Tricky, given the lack of early speed. OENOLOGY (4) back in grade when a convincing winner over 1600m at Scone from the outside barrier. Confidence is high and goes well on his home track. AGE OF AQUARIUS (6) strengthened up over the break and shouldn't have any trouble running the mile. Gripped on late when spearing across from the wide barrier for a narrow third over 1400m at Armidale. Genuine each way contender. BROKEN HERO (1) covered ground in the run with the 60kg when tenth over 1200m at Doomben in BM70 class. Finds a weaker race with the claim. Ready for the mile. SHADOW DANE (2) racing in career best form with the two wins from his last four outings. Gets further weight relief and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oenology can salute again.
