Strong tempo with Warrior's Spirit, Showtime Sassy and South Bullaway leading the way.
JUST JACKY (8) was very good two back at Tamworth then struggled at the Beaumont track over 1300m most recently. All five wins have come on wet tracks. Back in class today and should be in the finish. SHOWTIME SASSY (6) improved last time out at the second run of the campaign, working home evenly for a close fourth over 900m at Wellington. On a quick back-up and will appreciate the extra ground. Ready to win. STAR STROKE (12) showed pace but was out of her depth in a Class 2 over this distance at Coonamble last start. Draws a much better gate today and is in her right grade. Can bounce straight back. DUPENNY (3) is fitter for two runs back from a break and she gets out to her preferred trip for the first time this prep. INVINCIBLE FAITH (10) has a 50% top three strike rate over 1200m. Veteran who won a BM50 at Gunnedah two back. Should be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just Jacky to win the last.
