Off the low draw Coastal Boom is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. The Group 2 Spirit Of Boom Classic for the juveniles is worth 300K to be run over 1200m. DREAM ROCA (9) resumed in the Dalrello Stakes at Eagle Farm 2 weeks ago over ran on late to finish fourth. She showed what she can do over this trip when winning the Karaka Millions at Ellerslie before that, and with the advantage of the pole position, she should be among the hardest to beat here. VANTORIX (3) franked his easy maiden win at Taree with another win at Grafton, and though this is so much harder, he did win a recent trial on this track, and he must have impressed JMac who has picked up the ride. The hat-trick beckons. ESPERANZA (11) had plenty of excuses when beaten as the favourite last time out at Eagle Farm in the Calaway Girl Stakes 3 weeks ago. She cops a tricky gate, but she can make amends. Follow your money. DOUBLE COOL (10) has yet to win a race, but did run fourth in the MM Classic at the Gold Coast in January. Include. THE AUTUMN AFFAIR (13) is also a top 4 chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dream Roca, Vantorix quinella.
