Pace only fair with She's Enuff rolling to the lead ahead of Clubhouse and Yukanuma. DEEP STEALTH (15) both career runs have been sound and comes here in peak condition. Gets through all conditions and had excuses after striking trouble at the start when third over 1000m at Grafton. Expected to go close. RAISED BY WOLVES (11) drops in weight after launching late when a close-up fifth over 1210m at Port Macquarie in the heavy conditions at latest. Leading player on the backup. CLUBHOUSE (1) turned in a modest performance when seventh last start over 1350m at Ipswich, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has a good record here and assess on earlier efforts. Bounces back from the draw. SHE'S ENUFF (7) drops in weight and trip after fading in the heavy (8) going when eighth over 1610m at Grafton. Assess on her good win two back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 15,11,1,7.
