A strong gallop is likely with The Grand Duchy and Texas taking up the running, closely attended by Hello Punters and Encrypted Feeling. CARDONETTE (6) resumes for the premier Gollan yard and can win if the awkward barrier is managed. Brings three narrow defeats, including two in town. Owns and easy Doomben trial win and gets in well with the 2kg claim. Has been heavily bet and missed a nose at Eagle Farm at her lone fresh outing. HEAD OF THE RIVER (7) has placed her last two and has more to give. Will get every chance to fight out the finish. TEXAS (12) has switched to the Gollan yard. He raced forward 44-days ago at Hawkesbury on debut, but folded up. Was well supported and brings a close-up trial placing from Doomben. Has a handy gate and 2kg claim, and the betting will be key. HELLO PUNTERS (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 1000m at Sunshine Coast. Has been freshened and has won a trial here since. Will push forward and will give a sight. THE GRAND DUCHY (14) is an improver who will also push forward. Should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cardonette to win.
