Solid tempo from Detain, Shoutaboutit and Manwe battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. SOLAR BLAST (8) was a month between runs with a below par sixth over 1000m at this track. Fitter now and can bounce back quickly. CAPSITY (10) progressive filly resuming. Won two-straight last prep before finishing second over 1050m at Inverell last January. Fitted with the two trials and placed in slow going. Each way. ATHENA'S TREASURE (2) returns from a spell. Made up many lengths late from back in the field with a slashing sixth over 1400m at Scone in the Northern Wild Card. Fitted with a sharp trial win over 1000m at Gosford. Has the ability to put these away. SHOUTABOUTIT (11) has a stack of gear changes today and assess on her good recent efforts on the provincial tracks. Back in trip and will need a good ride from the draw. Place best. CATCHY TUNES (13) returned to form last start and goes into the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,10,2,11.
