Expecting a strong tempo over this journey.
Former Victorian KATHY'S ROSE (4) looked good saluting over this track and trip when having the first run for the new stable and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Can go right on with the job now. Former NSW galloper AGED CARE (1) just ran into one better first-up for the new yard and should find this easier than what he faced down south. Has to be included in calculations. RICH AGAIN (2) has hit the top-four at his past six outings and is racing very consistently of late. Top-three credentials. STATESWOMAN (12) has placed three of five around this circuit and may earn some minor money. KEEP ON RUNNING (6) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 4,1,2.
