Written Gold to take charge ahead of Rainagain at a good tempo. CROWN LEGEND (4) has an okay record over this track and trip and finds his race today. Put the writing on the wall last time out when a gritty third over 1400m at Coonamble with the 59kg. Can race a little closer today and prove hard to hold out. FEIMAZUO (5) trained locally and back in her right grade. Kept fresh when coming from well back in the field with an unlucky second over 1400m at this track on March 23. Fitter now and capable of going one better. THE MONA LISA (12) ran fast time when shedding her maiden status with a surprise 3.5 len win over 1300m at Goulburn. Looks up to this despite drawing out. Progressing well and worth following up. WRITTEN GOLD (1) improving gelding who comes out of a strong race after finishing fourth to Ghost Walker over 1300m at Goulburn two-and-a-half weeks ago. Comes here in peak form and carries the big weights well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crown Legend gets all the favours.
