Off the low draw Takethemoneyandrun is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo.
SIDE QUEST (12) has been edging towards her first win, and stepping up to 1400m is the key. If she can cross over from a wide gate and find a decent spot early on, then she can go close to breaking through in this. PUISSANCE POWER (4) has improved since being bought out of Victoria earlier in the year, and he has posted back to back second-place finishes. The extra 200m will suit him, and he can go one better. TAKETHEMONEYANDRUN (6) needed the run fresh up in his first start from the Sally Torrens stable, and having Anna Roper in the saddle second up is a strong lead for us. He can finish a lot closer this time. TRALEE (13) improved from a sound third fresh up to finish half a length from the winner in second at Muswellbrook last time out. Rory Hutchings sticks with her, and so do we. SHAKESPEARE'S GIRL (11) failed to fire fresh up when well found in the market, and she will be better for that run. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tralee each way.
