Moderate tempo with Bobby leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. KISS OF GOLD (7) racing well on the provincial circuit and finds her race at start seven. Showed plenty of grit to hold on and finish third over 1300m at Hawkesbury. Key jockey change and can stamp her authority here. BOBBY (2) came out quickly again when he jumped in trip before fading in the straight to finish eighth over 1350m at Wyong. Senior rider hops aboard and expected to be in the finish. BIRDY GIRL (5) much better effort third up when she came from near last on the turn to run second over 1400m at Coffs Harbour. Only has to hold that form to win this with Ben Looker taking the reins. WRITTEN ABOUT (11) failed to make an impression first up with an ordinary seventh over 1300m at Hawkesbury. Blinkers go on and expecting more today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kiss Of Gold should prove too strong for these.
