Reasonable tempo with Little Bubbles probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. BILLYBAGO (5) hit the line strongly first-up at Kempsey, coming from well back to grab third 1000m. He will likely settle back again, but the extra 100m here could make the difference, and he can have the last say this time. GYRA (9) resumes after 6 months off and she is capable of returning in winning form. She closed her last prep with an eighth at Newcastle-Beaumont over 1350m in a tougher field, and with a recent solid trial under her belt, she looks capable of a bold run. DE LA SALLE (3) resumes from a spell that would have done him the world of good, and a recent trial will have him ready to rumble fresh up. TOTALLY UNDERRATED (12) is fresh up for a new trainer, and she has shown glimpses of ability in the past. With some luck from a wide gate, she can figure in the top 4. BUNDORAN (2) returned from a spell with a solid third at Moree over 950m. He strips fitter and the extra 150m here will suit him. Keep him safe as well. The market moves will be a strong guide in this race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Billybago can win, but it is an even field.
