Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. CATHEDRAL COVE (9) two runs back have been encouraging and ready to win. No match for The Mona Lisa when second as fav over 1300m at Goulburn in a Super Mdn last time out. Can race a little closer here and prove hard to run down. I AM CARROT (6) first starter by Castelvecchio out of Ten Carat Rock from the Sara Ryan yard. Solid trial when second over 850m at Beaumont (Newcastle) on March 5. Finds a winnable race. LORD VETTORI (3) bounced off the one trial on resumption when gripping on strongly to finish third over 1100m at this track. Trained locally and not without each way claims. PARALIA (8) failed to get into the contest at his first run back when seventh over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Extra trip in his favour from the low draw. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,6,3,8.
