Expecting a strong gallop with Ticklebelly and Intervarsity taking up the running over Zarizatycoon. KNOW THYSELF (7) emerging gelding destined for bigger things. Had the race won a long way out as fav in the heavy (10) going when a slick winner of the Nth Wild Card over 1400m at Scone. Gets the right tempo from the draw and can keep the winning momentum going. GALLANT STAR (1) tough Dubbo gelding who brings excellent figures here second up. Started a long odds-on fav when a dominant all-the-way winner of the WRA Champs over this trip at Coonamble. Carries the big weights well and gets an economical run. Leading player. INTERVARSITY (14) lightly raced mare with a strong winning record who had plenty up the sleeve on resumption when taking out the H&NW Champs over 1400m at Tamworth. Undefeated second up and the in form Damian Lane rides. TRIBECA STAR (3) hard fit now and reunited with Nash Rawiller from a suitable gate. Tempo suits and will be strong late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Know Thyself to win again.
