Cracking tempo with Stratified and Wilbury leading the way. WILBURY (6) won three of his last four races and has excellent figures over this course and distance. Led throughout as fav when scoring over 1000m at Orange. Can get cover early from the draw. Top three contender. STRATIFIED (8) tough gelding with further upside. Chased hard from the wide gate when second over 1100m at Dubbo in BM82 grade. Gets his chance in the current form he's displaying. SMART AND DAPPER (7) back in grade and trip when surging late to finish fourth over 11000m at Dubbo. Drops further in weight and not to be underestimated. TWO YA GOT (1) a repeat of his latest third at Ipswich over this trip can see him take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,8,7.
