Warbreccan has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo.
RAINBOW BLESSING (7) found 1100m too short when resuming last start at Armidale but his last 200m was eye-catching. Filled a placing over this course and distance last prep. Looks to be in the right race to make a big impression. YACHT GIRL (3) had been racing well for some time and deserved her big win in a Class 2 over this distance at Armidale last time out. Handy mare who is up 5kgs but won't find this assignment as tough. OVERZONE (5) came from a minute back to record a highly impressive win on debut over 1280m at Muswellbrook recently. Going to 1400m on a roomy track like this looks the perfect progression. CHESTIME (4) was towelled up by subsequent winner Night Agent last time out over 1350m at the Beaumont track. Beautifully drawn and should be highly competitive in this line-up. ICHIKA (6) was too bad to be true at Armidale last start. Worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Rainbow Blessing.
