---|---|---|---|---|
Speranzoso to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. LIFE'S A PARTY (6) produced a big finish to score first-up at Bathurst and this is no harder. Fitter for the run too and an extra 100m holds no fears. The one to beat. THE DRAMATIST (1) made some good ground to finish sixth in a strong sprint at Muswellbrook six weeks ago. More than capable of putting himself in the finish. IMASUPERSTAR (5) hasn't been far away in his past few and given a confidence boosting trial win since last run. One of the chances. CROP DUSTER (2) is an improver at this trip and SHIPSHAPE (10) has place claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Life's A Party to win.
