Reasonable tempo with What A Rush probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. WHAT A RUSH (11) just over a month between runs second up when a fading seventh over 1000m at Casino. Assess on her good first up win and can turn it around quickly with the drop in weight. WHISPERING RUPERT (2) took control early from the inside gate when clearing out for a tough Super Maiden win over 1200m at Gosford. Can keep the momentum going. GOLD MELODY (3) complete mystery last time out when holding a forward position before dropping out sharply when twelfth over 1300m at Taree. Tongue-tie goes on and drops further in weight. Improver. NORTHERN BOOGIE (7) drifted back from the wide gate and failed to get into the contest when thirteenth over 1200m at Grafton. Ben Looker sticks and has each way prospects. REBEL ONE (9) returns from a let-up and back sharply in distance. Sprints well fresh and his lone victory came over this course and trip. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 11,2,3,7.
