Hot tempo expected from Loud and Bobby's Secret. JADE DIVISION (2) settled well back and failed to finish off when fifth over 1280m at Gilgandra. Assess on his good win two-back and expected to return to form in this easier contest. FRUIT OF DE VINE (9) finally got off the mark at start nine when a slick winner over 1200m at Queanbeyan. Confidence is high now and can go on with it today with Stiff's 3kg claim. BILLABONG ROSE (5) stripped fitter when a sharp winner as favourite over 1400m at Wellington. Looks up to this from the good gate and can figure in the finish. GAMOLINA (10) in need of the run first-up from the awkward gate when eighth over 1100m at Dubbo. Strips fitter and must be kept safe with a few gear changes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,9,510.
