Castlebar Road and Wilbury can be prominent. OUTBACK ANGEL (5) has been racing well without winning of late and had excuses in what looks a strong mares race at Hawkesbury last time. Drawn to trail and should be in the finish. WILBURY (1) gets in okay with the 3kg claim and he's in good form so is hard to leave out of the major chances again. CASTLEBAR ROAD (2) is resuming but rarely runs a bad race and should be competitive. LADY SHENANIGANS (3) and LIFE'S A PARTY (7) next best but could make a case for all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Outback Angel to win. Save on Wilbury.
