Expecting Golden Copper to take up the running with The Lupercal and Rethink It close at hand.
RENTESSIS (1) missed the kick then went through his gears well to get up for fourth last start over 1030m at Grafton. Perfectly placed out to this distance at the third run back from a spell. Lightly raced three-year-old who looks ready to double the win tally. Consistent mare MEDDLESOME (5) picked up impressively to just get the prize last time out over 1400m at Inverell. Kept fresh since that success 37 days ago. Placed three of five at this distance so expect her to be in the finish again. THE LUPERCAL (3) doesn't win out of turn but his recent efforts have been sound in shorter races than this. Up a little in grade today but gets some welcomed weight relief. One of the better chances. RETHINK IT (6) failed by a head over this course and distance in heavy going two back then disappointed over 1400m at Inverell last time. Can bounce back off a five-week freshen up. MONTE OUTLANDER (4) probably needs this run but he is always competitive at this circuit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Retessis to win.
