|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Hot tempo expected from Epaullo Creed and Ferrari Man. SO YOU PENCE (15) couldn’t have been more impressive last start, demolishing the field by 6L at Goulburn in a dominant on-pace display. Confidence sky-high and fitness peaking. Suspect she's a class (or two) above this lot. SOUL LADY (7) is a promising mare resuming over a preferred trip for Joe Cleary. Has her share of ability and is a noted fresh performer. Suspect she will be wound up for this but will need a smart steer from the wide draw. DOLLY (13) has proven an ultra-consistent type of the Spackman yard. Doesn't do much winning but rarely turns in a poor one. Deserves plenty of respect. CHASING A QUID (8) comes off a confidence-boosting win at Gundagai and gets weight off. Drawn favourably and can make an impact. KEIKOKU (5) will be the one to look out for if they pour it on early in front. Don’t leave him out of exotics. Stablemate CYCLONE RUPERT (9) is on the up and is another worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: So You Pence the one to beat.
