De Forza is the likely leader at a strong tempo. DE FORZA (6) went one better at second race start when a solid on pace winner over 1006m here on August 20. Drawn out here and no surprise to see him prove hard to stop again. SACRED DELAGO (2) had been racing well before jumping in class when a tiring ninth over 1000m at Tamworth on August 27. Can bounce back today. SEPTEMBER GIRL (7) thereabouts of late and due for a change of luck. Sat on the good tempo when a narrow second over 1006m here on August 20. Each way contender. LADY TULESSA (1) back in trip and relished the 4kg claim again when a determined head winner over 1006m here on August 20. Well drawn again and hard to dismiss in this current form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,2,7,1.
