Moderate tempo headed by Snowman. Group 3 placegetter CHICA MOJITO (12) doesn't win out of turn but finds her race today on the limit weight. Solid return when second to Firestorm (who's since won again) when charging late over 1500m at Rosehill on September 14. Drops 6kg in weight for this and she looks to have come back much stronger. Hard to stop. SNOWMAN (10) third up today and turned in a better showing when sitting on the speed for a plugging fourth over 1600m here on September 21. J Mac sticks from the good draw and he will prove hard to run down. OVERRIDING (8) smart mare who indicated a win was imminent when controlling the tempo before tiring late when third in the G3 Tibbie Stakes at Newcastle over 1400m on September 20. Will hold a forward position again and play a leading role. FLOATING (4) track and trip specialist who charged late when a commanding 1.5 len winner at this track over 1600m in BM88 class on September 21. Can win again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 12,10,8,4.
