Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 5.41).  

Slick tempo with Rattle And Hum to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Irish import NEWFOUNDLAND (3) opened his Australian account at Rosehill a fortnight ago, easily accounting for a BM72 field over this distance. Meets some of the rivals from that race here on much worse weight terms, but at the third run back he should have plenty of improvement to come. VRC St Leger winner AHURIRI (4) started favourite last time out over 2140m at this track but was eased up late after putting in some rough strides under pressure. Must have pulled through okay and getting to this trip is welcomed. Worth another chance. Waller brings TAJANIS (7) to Sydney after four Victorian runs this prep. Will find this tougher than his last start fourth over 2100m at Benalla but he has placed 3/4 at 2400m and gets a bit of weight relief. Victorian mare FRETTA (8) was a shade disappointing over 2550m at Flemington recently at her first try beyond ten furlongs. Capable of better. RATTLE AND HUM (1) found Newfoundland too strong last time but at the weights can narrow the gap. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Newfoundland.

At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Rosehill Bm72 on October 2 over 2400m, slow going 2.25 len behind Newfoundland carrying 58.5kg at $10. The race before that did the work up front then tired second last of 8 at Randwick Kensington Bm72 on September 11 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Captain Maverick with 59kg at $10. Strips fitter and gets a nice weight swing on Newfoundland.
