GOING: S(5)

RACING AND SPORTS HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.44)  

Expecting Tasoraay to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. HELL TO PAY (3) keeps improving this prep and will benefit with Roper's claim again after holding them off late when scoring over 1550m at Canterbury. Gets map favours and goes close in this tougher contest. TASORAAY (11) comes to town for the first time this campaign after resuming with a slick on pace victory over 1300m at Scone in good time. Bumped into some progressive types last time in and gets every chance in this stronger race. DAME COMMANDER (4) big jump in grade and trip when pulling up with thumps after finishing fourteenth over 2000m in the G2 The Roses at Doomben. Back in distance and expected to bounce back in this weaker contest. OUI OUI OUI (13) progressing well in her second prep with the two wins from three starts. Bounced off her unlucky Hawkesbury Guineas run with a sharp win over 1400m at Hawkesbury. Look for her launching late. Each way. KUNDABUNG (12) near his top and the firmer surface can see him improve quickly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hell To Pay to win again.
