Expecting Zou Big Boy to take up the running with Creative Righteous and Smokey Saint close at hand. KURITHEA (9) showed ability in Queensland last preparation and expected to go on with it this campaign. Handy run first up with the 58.5kg when fourth over 1300m at Hawkesbury. Ready for this trip and further and expected to go close today. GEMTIKI (8) is starting to hit her straps after a dominant win over 1750m at Muswellbrook when sitting off the speed. Backs up quickly and has solid top three claims. BELLEVUE (5) anchored with the 63kg last start when a disappointing seventh over 1600m at this track. Looks well placed with the weight drop and assess on the good second at Wyong three back. CREATIVE RIGHTEOUS (3) has impressed in his first prep for the new yard and comes here in peak condition today. Used up early and never surrendered when a game second over 1600m at Tuncurry. Respect on the backup. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,8,5,3.
