Expecting Take The Chance to take up the running with Afloat and Agent Zero close at hand. AGENT ZERO (3) has not raced since finishing fourth of five in a quality three-year-old race at Eagle Farm on 3 January. Cruised home to win his maiden at the only previous run at 1600m. Will be better for this outing but looks to have a decent class edge on this field. TARTAN TIGER (10) is a promising filly backing up six days after winning her maiden over 1500m at Goulburn. Continues to improve as she steps up in distance so this looks a nice race for her. AFLOAT (1) did some work to find the lead, handed it up, and battled on evenly for fourth recently over this trip at Newcastle. Cherry ripe after three runs back from a spell and should be competitive again. TOKYO QUEEN (7) resumes. Raced just once last prep and was beaten a long way so clearly all was not right. One to monitor for market support. TAKE THE CHANCE (6) is going okay including a close second in a similar race at Dubbo three back. Cannot be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Agent Zero should be too strong.
