A race that lacks pace so expect a muddling tempo at best. SO YOU READY (4) progressive gelding who doesn't have to improve much to take this out. Covered ground in the run and closed strongly when an unlucky second over 2200m at Scone. Gets a better run today and looks too good for these. FULMEN FILOU (3) proven at this course and distance and has impressed with his three runs for the new yard. Back in trip from the sticky gate when a gritty second over 1812m at Port Macquarie. Went under narrowly here, two back and looks the main danger. CAPTAIN GOOD VIBES (2) comes down from the Gold Coast with a handy record at this trip. Senior rider engaged and likely to roll forward. Each way. BRIGHT THE SUN (8) improving filly getting out to her right distance range. Strong through the line when second over 2150m at Toowoomba. Will need things to go her way from the gate. BOLD SPLENDOR (5) is the best of the rest as she finds form over this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: So You Ready to assert her class.
