Moderate pace only with Ilovenews leading Extravagant Choice. GOODNIGHT BARLOW (7) tough gelding rewarded for his consistency when a slogging 0.5 len winner as fav over 1610m at the Sapphire Coast. Capable of testing his rivals again. DEVINE OUTCAST (5) proven at the mile and fitter now third up. Shuffled back from the inside gate and failed to get into the contest when last over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Placed at the provincials over this trip last time in. Expecting a return to form. ILOVENEWS (1) has returned a more consistent gelding this time in and comes here in peak form. Outclassed late when a tiring fourth over 1600m at Gosford. Winning rider is back aboard and this looks much easier. EXTRAVAGANT CHOICE (4) holding his form well and hard fit for this. Worked into the race strongly when a narrow second over 1700m at Cowra with the 60kg. Will sit on the even tempo and play a leading role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,5,1,4.
