Sukhbir has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. VEANDECHANCE (6) improved sharply from the good barrier with a well-deserved victory over 1614m at Taree in the heavy (9) going last start. Can keep the winning momentum going from the low draw. CHANGE THE DATE (9) shuffled back early and held up in the straight when a disappointing tenth over 1175m at Grafton. Extra trip in his favour and has genuine each-way claims. SHERRIFF CODY (5) strong through the line over the unsuitable trip when third over 1175m at Grafton. Has a good record at this track and trip and no shock to see him finish over the top of these. SUKHBIR (7) was close enough on the turn but offered little in the straight when tenth over 1400m at Coffs Harbour. Lost his near fore plate during the race which could explain the poor run. Expecting more today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Veandechance to win again.
