A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. RICH STREET (10) is racing in career best form and capable of keeping the winning momentum going. Rewarded for her consistency when a sharp winner over 1600m at Coonamble. Has a good record here and is set to give this a shake. ORDER OF MERIT (3) big jump in class when a tiring seventh over 1600m at Coonamble in BM66 grade. This is easier and the 4kg claim is a bonus. TO BE FRANK (1) pushed forward from a wide draw last time but tired in the straight to finish sixth over 1600m at Coonamble. Look for an improved run here. MRS BULL (4) missed the frame two back but was a lot better last time when second over 1600m at Coonamble. Can go one better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,3,1,4.
