From the outside gate No More Pennies can push forward and take up the running in the absence of a genuine leader. CREATION (1) has been patiently handled, and after plenty of trial experience, he finished on nicely for third when making his debut at Waverley just over 3 weeks ago. The step up from 1400m to 1600m is ideal, and he won't be in this company for much longer. NO MORE PENNIES (2) whacked away solidly for fifth here 6 weeks ago, and he has only been lightly tried for a 5YO gelding. With some luck from a wide gate, he can figure in the top 4 this time. REVERIE (3) is a staying bred gelding who will be suited to 1600m for his debut. He hails from the astute Myers stable, and he did win his only public trial last month. Follow the market moves. SHE'S GOT GEARS (8) has improved in each of her 2 starts to date, and if she can find just a little bit more, then she has top 4 claims in this field. PUNCHING (5) was seventh on debut at Woodville on Wednesday, and he is worth including if he backs up in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Creation can win, but check the market about Reverie on debut.
