|
Genuine tempo with Canadian Ruler to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. VERMICELLA (4) underrated mare who managed to sneak inside runs from looked an impossible position on the turn before scoring a dominant win over 1400m at the Sapphire Coast in the SERA Champs. Has an excellent record at this trip and kept up to the mark with a 900m tick over trial. The booking of J Mac is a good lead. FINGERS HUNTER (15) peaking at the right time and assess on her eye-catching fourth to Considered when anchored with the 59.5kg at Rosehill over this trip three starts back. Well placed on the limit and must be respected. CHIDIAC (12) Kosciuszko placegetter who returned with a sharp victory over 1280m at Muswellbrook in the H & NW Champs. Steps out to this trip for the first time and expected to take a hand in the finish. CONSIDERED (3) tough mare yet to taste defeat at her last six outings. Adept in all conditions and undefeated over the 1400m. Leading contender. WARRIOR FOR PEACE (5) durable gelding in career best form and will be ridden for luck from the wide gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,15,12,3.
