Plenty of pace from Western Conqueror, La Narradora and Maxandus vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. PRIZE WRITER (5) won well on debut over this trip at Gosford but has struggled in two runs since. Back in trip and grade today and no shock to see her prove too sharp for these. QUICK SHARP (9) returns without a trial after failing to come up in the one run last time in. Her best form is usually early in the campaign, and she finds a fairly average race. LA NARRADORA (12) total forgive in her first run for the new yard when trapped wide to finish fifth over 1000m at Scone. Map suits and she looks the value play in the race. PANTA RHEI (8) lightly raced mare resuming. Bar plates come off and has the ability to take this out from the good gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,9,12,8.
