Just a modest pace in store without noted speed runners engaged. ALABAMA HUSSY (5) on the quick backup after closing off strongly at her second run back when a strong third over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Finds an easier event today and this track and extra trip suit. Hard to stop. RODEO DEALER (7) drifted back in the heavy (8) conditions before chipping away late when third over 1000m at Wyong. Blinkers come off and drops sharply in weight out to the 1250m. KHALS (1) never comfortable in the soft (6) going and pulled up lame when a dismal fifth over 1400m at Canberra. Kept up to the mark with a recent 1030m trial and expecting a better showing today. WASHIK (10) drifted back on resumption and failed to sprint with them in the straight when fifth over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Gets weight relief with the claim and stays in the contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alabama Hussy to win.
