Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Think I'm Irish. TAKE THE CHANCE (5) produced a solid effort last time when beaten a head into second at Narromine over 1200m. Should be at her peak now and will appreciate the longer journey. Leading player. THINK I’M IRISH (4) is knocking on the door after three consecutive placings, the latest a third over 1600m at Tuncurry. Drops back in trip on the short turnaround and shapes as one of the key chances. ROTHO BRO (3) has mixed his form this campaign but his peaks measure right up. Needs luck from the wide alley yet is capable of giving this a big shake. ASTROGAZER (1) resumes for the David Pfieffer yard. Only had one run last campaign when clearly going amiss but looks to have returned in much better order. Draws to get the gun run and is worth some thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Take The Chance to win.
