Solid tempo with Zouatica leading while Perfumist and Taipan Legend also press. ASSOCIATE (7) eye-catching run in the LR National Sprint at Canberra two-back which has proven to be a solid rating race. No luck again last start when third over 2000m at Hawkesbury in BM68 class. Drops in weight for this and he should get the right tempo. Go close. AIMPOINT (9) undefeated over this track and trip and ready to show up with the 54kg. Battled late with the 57kg when fifth over 1600m at Doomben in BM78 class. Blinkers go on and he finds a nice race and can atone. PERFUMIST (1) Sydney-trained mare back sharply in grade third-up. Came out fast from the wide gate before fading in the straight to run seventh over 1500m in the G2 Emancipation Stakes at Rosehill. Claim helps from the low draw and expected to take a hand in the finish. INDIFFERENCE (3) from the in form Cavanough yard and ready to produce third-up. Ran fourth in the LR Wyong Cup last September and ticks a few boxes here from the inside barrier. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Associate each-way.
