Restricted Access and Wheeling have good gate speed and can pave the way. BILLIE THE GREAT (13) was a strong winner fresh when kept coming and scored by a head this course and distance. Fitter again and drops in weight. Looks hard to hold out again. ANTHEIA (10) got home by half a length at Launceston two starts ago then wound up late last time at this track when 2.75 lengths from the winner in fifth. Looks a terrific chance to return to form. ZUNI (11) was runner-up last time when beaten just 0.8 lengths at her latest appearance at this track over 1200m while FURNEAUX (2) finished third. Both meet the winner better at the weights and could well turn the tables with the right run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Billie The Great.
