Strong tempo expected from Extravagant Choice, Wolf Club and Rock All Night. EXTRAVAGANT CHOICE (1) is racing in peak form and was just touched out at Orange last time. Draws well and with the claim gets a chance to go one better. DEVILS DAUGHTER (5) won nicely at Wellington first-up before an even effort at Gosford. Can't be left out of contention. WOLF CLUB (7) bounced back to his best last time at Dubbo and has to be considered. ANOTHER FORTUNE (2) and RUFUS WINRIGHT (6) are each-way hopes at least. SUGGESTED PLAY: Extravagant Choice to win.
