Genuine pace with Vegas Raider taking up the running ahead of One Destiny and Memoria. MABEL (3) will find this more to her liking after jumping in grade when an encouraging sixth to Bonita Queen over 1100m at Wyong in BM78 class at the latest. Will get the right tempo and is sure to be strong late with the claim. VEGAS RAIDER (6) will be fitter after three runs back and expecting a much better showing after tiring late when fifth to Balkans over this track and trip on January 17. Senior rider back on and will give plenty of cheek. MEMORIA (4) resumes with a dynamite fresh record. Raced in much stronger company last time in and fitted with two searching trials. Can sit off the fast pace and pounce late. CHIEF CONDUCTOR (5) third-up tonight and gets the right set-up with the good tempo expected. Blinkers go on for the first time and not without each-way prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mabel to go close.
