Genuine tempo from Frappes leading Procyon Miss. FRAPPES (6) racing in a rich vein of form and back in trip after sitting on the speed when a gritty second over 1610m here on August 20. Gets the claim again from the low draw and will prove hard to catch. NICKELBACK (2) back in trip on the quick back-up when a dominant 2 len winner win over 1400m at Casino a month ago. Kept fresh and all three wins have come over this distance. Can play a leading role again. WONDERWHEN (1) two runs back have been solid before disappointing when seventh over 1400m in the Casino Cup on August 10. Open to further improvement and races best this course and distance. SMOOTH TORQUE (3) usually races well second-up so can improve on her disappointing run when resuming at Sunshine Coast. SUGGESTED PLAY: Frappes to win.
