Last year's winner FIGHTER COMMAND (12) is the clear class runner again. Has been racing well at Melton, finishing runner-up from a wide barrier last start and placing from this row three back. He is three from three at this distance and will be very hard to stop. SWIATEK LEIS (2) comes into this in form, winning her last two outings at Launceston. Led to score from this barrier last time and is at peak fitness fourth-up so should go well. CUZZY BRO (6) scored from a similar barrier last time, his third success from his last five. Strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance so can be in the finish. BARBARY TALES (1) won well from this barrier two back so has exotic claims.

BARBARY TALES
S L DAVIS 3YO B/BR FILLY J C Huston Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr4) over 1680m at Launceston, beaten 6 m by Coniston (2:02.10) in 3yo+ NMT 4 LTW's on July 20 at $1.70. Showed ability the outing before when she won by 9 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Launceston (2:01.40) beating Nancestiger in 3yo+ NMT 5 LTW's on July 11 at $6.50. Could be in the finish from the inside draw. |
