Genuine pace headed by Zounile from her wide gate. ANNIE'S ROSE (7) having her third run for the new yard and capable of improvement from the good gate. Snagged back from the outside gate and chipped away late when sixth over 1200m at Wyong. Drops in weight and no shock to see her race a little closer to the speed. Solid each-way player. PUERTO BANUS (10) tough gelding in career best form. Anchored with the 60.5kg when an eye-catching fourth over 1100m at Gosford. Another down in the weights who will prove hard to hold out. SILVER HALO (12) indicated a win was imminent when sitting on the fast tempo before fading late when second over 1262m at Taree. Has a good record here and is capable of taking this out. RAJNISH (11) resumes after holding his own in Highway grade last time in. Fitted with the two searching trials and maps to get the gun run. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,10,12,11.
