---|---|---|---|---|
Cracking pace early with Zakor and Geo leading the charge. THE DRAMATIST (4) is back in trip and grade today after failing to get through the heavy (9) going when 12th over 1500m at Rosehill in BM78 class on June 15. Tempo suits and go on his dominant victory two back when assessing his chances. AMICUS CURIAE (11) tough gelding who returned with a slashing fourth over 1200m at Wyong on June 6. Has good figures here but will need a top ride from the wide gate. Look for him late. LEAVE ME SOME (10) has a good record here and due for a change of luck. Can race closer from the good draw after catching the eye late from well back when second over 1000m at Scone on June 11. No surprise to see her play a leading role again. BROKEN HILL (3) returned from a lengthy layoff with an encouraging fifth over 1000m at Scone on June 11. Has an excellent second-up record and gets the tongue-tie on. Sharp improver with the claim from the good draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Dramatist each-way.
