Strong tempo with Getty and Capital Heart leading the way over Fun Sponge. TAKE THE RAP (1) is a promising galloper from the local Gardner yard, who was backed off the map winning an 82 at Wagga first up. He was tried in Listed grade last preparation and has won 2/3 second-up. Owen stays aboard, and he should have them covered. SUPER EXTREME (3) was short of a gallop first up and then came here and was an easy Open winner over this trip. It was an impressive effort, and he will be fitter. He's likely to drift back and come hard late. SUTTON VELLA (5) won a 66 comfortably at Moruya first-up and then found Canterbury too tough on a heavy surface. She is proven third-up, and the longer sprint shouldn't bother. Needs a good ride, but Penza sticks aboard. CAPITAL HEART (6) wasn't too far away here in Open grade and will carry just 53kgs today with the apprentice booked. He's a candidate to lead and could pop up for a smart yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Take The Rap.
