Lady Pankhurst to take charge ahead of Stakeholder at a solid tempo. BOLD DESIGN (3) strengthened over the break and ticks a few boxes here with the 3kg claimer aboard. Scored at Taree two back, then gripped on well to finish third to the progressive Cuban Cigar over 1300m at this track. Hard to stop from the good barrier. CHARLEROI (4) will appreciate the class drop fourth up and comes back in distance for this. Failed to make an impression when a battling seventh over 1550m at Randwick Kensington in BM72 class. Will go back from the draw and be ridden for luck. Place best. LADY PANKHURST (7) resumes. Tested in Group company two preps back, didn't make an impact in two starts last campaign. Given the two trials and must be considered. STAKEHOLDER (5) trained locally and worth thought in this easier contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,4,7.
