Anticipate Rum And Kirk, Qui Rouge and Over The Louvre to set a strong tempo. DEEP AFFECTION (8) is back after a lengthy break and is now in the Ethan Ensby yard. Total forgive from the wide gate when ninth over 1400m at Kembla Grange on November 4, 2025. Fitted with the two trials and the blinkers go on from the rails gate. Go close. CHOP CHOP GO (7) best performance in his eleven career starts first up with a solid on-speed second over 1200m at this track. Solid run last time and will take catching again. TRINITY STATE (13) Yes Yes Yes filly from Tale Of Choice on debut for the Matthew Dunn stable. Had several trials in readiness for this and can run a forward race from the low gate. RUM AND KIRK (1) has a fitness edge over most of these and no surprise to see the blinkers do the trick fourth up. Has the upside to overcome the wide gate and figure prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,7,13,1.
