Far Too Hot to take charge ahead of Tommy Flyer at a strong tempo. CHRISTMAS STAR (4) created a big impression at her second run back when shedding her maiden status with a dominant win over 1180m at Gundagai. Will appreciate the extra trip and prove hard to stop again. APPARATE (9) got off the mark at start seven when saluting over 1209m at this track two starts back. Even run when a plugging fourth over 1300m at Canberra. Well drawn again and will find this more to her liking. SPIELE (12) massive weight drop today after coming back in class and trip when second over 1425m at Moruya. Gets the right set up and will be strong late. SASSY MISSILE (10) raced without luck at her three runs back and capable of improving in this weaker contest. Has won at this track and goes into the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Christmas Star to keep the winning momentum going.
