Gail Jeanette to set a decent tempo from inside barrier, kept busy by the speedy duo Tommy Flyer and Stormfield. GAIL JEANETTE (2) is deep into the campaign and ticks plenty of boxes today from the inside barrier. Worked hard from the wide gate when she gripped on to secure a nose victory as fav over 1000m at Dubbo. Proven at the trip and gets every chance with the 4kg claimer aboard. GOLDEN VADER (10) will find this much easier after having to navigate the wide gate and heavy track with a poor eleventh over 1100m at Rosehill in Highway class. Gets a much better set-up and can return to winning form. NOCTUA (7) never looked comfortable on the Canberra Acton track with a fading tenth in stronger company. Assess on her good earlier performances. Must be kept safe. RILEYCAT (5) returns after a spell of five months. Will be looking for a fast tempo and can launch late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,10,7,5.
