Strong pace from Dilution and Redneck Princess matching motors with Pretty Panda close at hand. BEFORE THE WAR (2) brings a string of narrow defeats in better grade. He always needs a good ride but has a key jockey switch to McDougall. With average luck, he can take it out. REDNECK PRINCESS (9) improved at Wodonga and is proven third-up. She will push forward and has pieces of form that would see her fighting out the finish. CHAIRMAN'S CHOICE (3) went well first-up at 50 level and has the switch to a 4x winning rider. He'll be in the frame putting his best foot forward. DILUTION (1) has been around the mark his last couple, and the 2kg claim is handy. Races forward and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Before The War.
