Etched In Time should spear straight to the front of the small field. SUPER BRIGHT (1) is close to a win and the extra trip is in her favour. Well ridden by Osmond when coming out of the pack late for a narrow second over 1200m at Warwick Farm. Gets a similar tempo and a win looks imminent. DARLING DOWNS (8) kept fresh and back in trip when she sat on the speed for a gallant second over 1400m at Warwick Farm. Drops further in trip for this with the blinkers going on for the first time. Leading player. KOIOS (10) promising gelding who bounced off his good fourth in town two back before demolishing his rivals with a slick 3 len victory at Scone 1200m. Leading contender. AARDVARK (4) resumes a gelding after contesting Group company last prep. Has the two searching trials under the belt and a forward showing is expected from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Super Bright each way.
