Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Jason Darren, Grand Voile and Percolate prominent. ANTILOPINI (11) was facing the starter for only the fourth time when an impressive winner last start over 1300m at Scone, coming from next to last before quickening in fine style in the heavy going. That run followed a 40-day break to add merit to the performance. Should go right on with the job now. PARFUMIER (7) started to yield ground a long way from home in a disappointing effort this distance at Scone last time out. Missed by a whisker in a Class 2 in heavy conditions over this course and distance two back - huge chance with a repeat of that performance. PERCOLATE (12) shouldered 60.5 kg into second place on a bog track at Tamworth recently. Very fit after three runs back from a spell and she will enjoy a bit of weight relief today in this tougher contest. VENOM WOLF (4) comes into this of a dominant win over 1518 at Coffs Harbour 20 days ago. Loves getting the toe in so he gets conditions to suit again. DEEP DRIVE (3) next best in a race with a long tail. SUGGESTED PLAY: Antilopini to win again.
