Moderate tempo with Norman leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. SPECIAL DAY (8) has left herself with too much to do in her three runs back. Will appreciate the drop in grade and added trip on quick back-up. Capable of sharp improvement. IMAGE OF THE SUN (1) was safely held first up at Tamworth but is much better than that and will appreciate the rise in trip off 51-day freshen. Was sent back to the trials and Bullock going on is a big push for her chances. Expect a much more competitive showing. ENTERPRISE LASSIE (3) showed plenty of early dash at Scone last time and stuck on fairly for fourth, beaten under three lengths. Has a good record at this distance and is right up to this on best form. NIGHT FIGHTER (2) made good late ground at Dubbo and should relish the step up in distance. Not without his chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Special Day.
