||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Pace looks sure to be genuine with More Trouble and November Falls matching motors, closely followed by Demon Darb. MORE TROUBLE (4) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the Sunny Coast victory when resuming. Can bounce back from the inside marble. The well-related UNTIL VALHALLA (9) (half to G1 winner Sofia Rosa) gets in well at the weights with the 1.5kg claim and can feature if she brings her best. RHUVAAL (15) has strung back-to-back wins together and cannot be ignored. NOVEMBER FALLS (16) comes under notice here after a solid performance at Kembla Grange last time out. Fitter and in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,9,15,16.
