Strong early tempo with Hidden Wealth and Front Page leading the way.
The $300,000 Group 2 Moreton Cup. FRONT PAGE (8) didn't get it all his own way in the Quokka over in the west and has since been given a bit of a freshen up. Saves his best form for this six-furlong journey and has a bit of class over most of these. A bounce back to form looks on the cards. A LITTLE DEEP (13) just missed the placings at G1 level last time out and gets in well at the weights for a race like this. Gets gun hoop Williams in the saddle and should be going very close. PUNCH LANE (1) has put back-to-back wins together and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Include in calculations. HIDDEN WEALTH (2) has been a touch disappointing in both runs this time in work but should be ready to show something now third-up. Worth another chance. WARNIE (7) doesn't know how to run a bad race and can trouble the judge again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Front Page to bounce back.
