Pace a scorcher, headed by Too Darn Lovely and Jet Empress, closely followed by Whistling Straits and Astrolith. TOO DARN LOVELY (9) progressive filly with her hoof on the till third up. Sat on the speed and improved sharply when third over 950m at Moree in C3 grade on September 1. Maps well again and has the numbers to take this out. INDIAN THUNDER (7) tough old gelding who will find this much easier after jumping in grade and trip when seventh over 1200m at Mudgee on September 8. Trained on the track and has a good record here. YOU HAVE TO GO (10) nice return two back at Muswellbrook before disappointing when seventh over 1100m at Scone on August 30. Improver if he can find his best. The chances don't end there. WHISTLING STRAITS (3) is coming off a win at Dubbo on a soft track and in strong form scoring two wins with one placing from five outings this campaign, can measure up again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Too Darn Lovely on top.
