Loads of early pressure, primarily from Red Hill and Wonder Brahma. SMART POPPY (1) drifted well back last start before storming home to score at Narrandera. Likely to measure up again. MYSTIC FLAME (11) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Narrandera, finishing third. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. KERMA ART (6) easily accounted for a maiden field over 1400m at Narrandera last start. Holly Durnan was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run. DIAMOND CARAT (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smart Poppy to win.
