Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 36)   Rail: +3m 900m-275m, Cutaway Applies.  

Genuine tempo with Sir Sublime leading the way. ANTHRACIA (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when ninth over 1000m at Gundagai. Maps well and all her wins have come at this track. MARINE GIRL (9) resumes from a spell of three months and is having her first outing for Nick Olive. Finished eighth at Kempsey over 1250m at the opening run last time in work. Among the better hopes while fresh. CRUCIAL WITNESS (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when sixth over 1000m at Canberra. Fitter and has a solid second-up record. Respect. SIR SUBLIME (8) resumes. Will be better suited over more ground however go forward racing style is conducive to success around Queanbeyan. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,9,1.
