Strong pace from Dodge The Dark and William's Smile pushing forward, along with Pattera from out wide. POWDERFINGER (5) was a month between runs when comfortably accounted for finishing eleventh over 1200m at Warren. That followed a win at Binnaway at the previous outing. Enjoys a drop in grade so she can return to the winners' list. PATTERA (1) went fast early and held on to score by a long neck last time out over 1065m at Wagga Riverside. Should go forward from the awkward gate. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ARDONAUGH (3) was in the money two starts back at Gunnedah but couldn't back it up last time when twelfth over 1300m at Scone. Will enjoy a drop in class and is one of the main contenders. BROADCAST BOOGIE (11) comes here off a break of 12 weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at Condobolin. Worth plenty of thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,1,3,11.
