Strong tempo, primarily from Panta Rhei and Signatories. BAKHITA (6) better that recent runs suggest and will find this easier on her home track from the low gate. Went back from the wide gate and never looked a winning chance when sixth over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Gets the right run and assess on his good third at Gosford three runs back. SIGNATORIES (5) starting to hit his straps and chasing his third win from his last four outings. Cruised across from the wide gate when a slick on pace winner over 900m at this track. Gets a more economical run today and will prove hard to stop again. RITZSUN (1) given every chance in the run at ($1.45 fav), when failing to finish off with a poor third over 1000m at this track. Comes back a few levels and winning rider is back aboard. LADY MEMPHIS (8) complete mystery first up when fading quickly in the straight to run seventh over 900m at this course. Only win came second up and no surprise to bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bakhita each way.
