Hot pace certain with Generous Harry, Kimberley Secrets and Rumours Abound keen to take up the running. KIMBERLEY SECRETS (1) tough mare who finds an easier contest. Gets a much better setup tonight after being nailed late by Fine Vintage over this course and distance. No excuse with the distinct fitness edge over the bulk of these. GENEROUS HARRY (3) progressive gelding who scored two sharp wins on the provincial tracks before bumping into the smart Nazwah when sixth over 1000m at Warwick Farm. Well in with Fitzgerald's 3kg claim and has the speed to overcome the sticky draw. Solid top-three player. RUMOURS ABOUND (6) classy Albury-trained mare who brings the right form to this winnable contest. Gave them a galloping lesson from the awkward barrier when she led throughout to score by 3 lens win over 1000m at Wangaratta. Sure to be there at the business end. LIFE COACH (8) proven at this track and the last two runs have been sound. Pushed forward from the wide gate with a dominant victory over 1250m at Taree. Stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kimberley Secrets will prove hard to get past.
