|
A strong gallop is likely with Toulon Factor and Arrabbiata taking up the running, closely attended by Hibiki Harmony and Visualise. MEGA FIGHT (6) made a midrace move to find the lead then tired to finish midfield last start over 1512m at Port Macquarie. That run followed a forty-five-day break so he will tighten right up for this. Best form comes at the mile - this looks a nice race. VISUALISE (13) continued the solid form this prep when he led but just failed to hold on over 1400m at this track last time out. Placed two back at his only run over this trip. Sure to give them something to catch. Consistent filly HIBIKI HARMONY (14) was there on the bend but was overwhelmed late and just missed the placings at her latest run over 1300m at Scone. Up in class but gets some welcomed weight relief. Will give backers a sight. ARRABBIATA (11) backs up seven days after a respectable effort over 1400m here. Hasn't won for ages but is very fit and should be thereabouts. Consistent four-year-old THE GREAT ARMADA (4) is a three-time winner at this distance so don't rule him out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mega Fight each-way.
