A solid tempo anticipated with Sunday and Sweet And Sour ahead of Fleet Destination and Dubai Fountain. ROULLOTTIE (12) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and kept going to win by 2.25 lengths over 1400m at Narrandera. One of the top chances again. SUNDAY (2) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then ran fourth over 1450m at Muswellbrook two weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. DUBAI FOUNTAIN (7) finished sixth last time out over 1400m at Bendigo, beaten 1.75 lengths. Deserves serious consideration from the better gate. SECTORS (11) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start the seventh over 1400m at Narrandera. Better than recent efforts suggest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 12,2,7,11.
