---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of pace with Roma Avenue and I Am The Empire leading from Perfect Play. Plenty of in-form runners come together making this a real test for punters. NZ import COLLECT YOUR CASH (3) returned from a thirteen-week break to register a tough win over 1550m at the Kensington track last start. Another promising stayer for the Waterhouse/Bott yard with the scope to progress beyond a race like this. PERFECT PLAY (10) finished third to the in-form Revelare at Flemington two back then led for home but disappointed through the final stages over 1900m at Rosehill last time. Best form is good enough so worth another chance back in midweek company. I AM THE EMPIRE (4) impressed when successful first-up over 1800m at the Kensington track recently. Open to plenty of improvement and can win again without surprising. FLYING BANDIT (5) was enormous first-up in a 1400m Kembla Provincial Championship qualifier, coming from last on the bend to get up for third. Draws a better gate and this trip looks ideal. IT'S A WONDER (13) is on trial at 1800m but cannot be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Collect Your Cash on top in an open race.
