---|---|---|---|---|
Strong early tempo with Surreal Ascot and Too Darn Lovely leading the way. SURREAL ASCOT (2) tough mare racing in career best form. Up in class with the 58.5kg when a slick on pace winner over 1200m at Kilcoy. Will roll forward and prove hard to run down. SUPER SIOUX (7) chasing her third win from her last four outings and gets weight relief with the claim. Given the gun run when asserting her class late to salute in a tight finish over 800m at Narromine. Can slide across from the gate and figure prominently. OCTAVIAN TREASURE (8) struck trouble at the start and got further back than expected when an even sixth over 1000m at Dubbo. Tempo suits and not without each way claims. SOOBOOCO (4) came out fast when up in class for a fading fourth over 1100m at Scone in C3 class. Senior rider engaged and stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Surreal Ascot to win again.
