|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate pace only with Strobing leading Incantress. HINUNE (8) has gone to a new level this prep and progressing well through the grades. Savaged the line when back in trip to run second to the smart Avista over 1500m at this track. Only has to hold that form to take this out. STROBING (6) anchored with the 59kg for a tough on-pace second over 1509m at Port Macquarie in easier grade. Drops in weight for this and he gets a similar set-up. Go close. INVASIVE DREAMS (3) jumped sharply in trip with a battling third to Avista over 1500m at this track. Claim helps again from the inside draw and can take a hand in the finish. UNREAL EXPECTATION (5) mixing his form in Midway grade and looks well placed here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,6,3,5.
