Drumshanbo and Cheating Lilibet should set a strong tempo. LA POTENZA (7) third up for this and comes back in trip after she failed to run the 1400m out when ninth at Moree. Gets map favours with the senior rider going aboard. Leading contender. ISSY'S STAR (1) good mare who wound up strongly in the heavy (10) going first up for a narrow second over 1100m at Gosford. Look for her savaging the line in this weaker contest. Go close. DIRTY DOES IT (8) has his hoof on the till and due for a change of luck on the backup. Closed strongly to finish third over 1000m at Taree. Leading contender. MISS TRUMP (10) sprinted well first up to record a comfortable Maiden victory over 1006m at Port Macquarie. Can go on with it now despite drawing out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,1,8,10.
