Aima Sun has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. AUTUMN MISS (7) raced up on the pace but couldn't go on with the job last start over 1509m at Port Macquarie. Drops 4.5kgs today and although she goes up to a BM66 it is not overly strong. Nicely drawn and looks a great chance to return to form. ANDROS (9) added another minor placing to his record when a barnstorming second over a similar trip to this at Grafton on Saturday. Loves wet ground and will prove difficult to hold out. SUN TOPAZE (4) improved out of sight when second-up from a spell recently, narrowly taking out a comparable race to this at Coffs Harbour. Can build on that performance at this early stage of the campaign. FLYING BAT (2) led from the outset to record an effortless win over 1650m at Beaudesert 19 days ago. Coming back in distance is the query but that last win was too good to overlook. Genuine mare PRESSALONG (1) wasn't all that far away at Ipswich last time out. Is a winner here and from a nice draw is sure to be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Autumn Miss each-way.
