Genuine pace headed by Beat Hollow from his wide alley.
SNATCHREILLY (1) made it four minor placings from as many appearances this prep when he rattled home for second over 1100m at Armidale last start. Best form comes at today's trip so with a pinch of luck from the sticky draw he might get that well deserved win. BOAMBEE BEACH (3) had a thirty-seven-day break before her midfield finish over 1000m at Ballina last time out. Strips fitter and is far better placed out to six furlongs. Looms as a serious threat. RUBYDOO (8) last appeared when a close fifth over 1075m at Gatton eight weeks back. Thrown in after the claim and good enough on her day to test this field. MONTE TIANA (11) returns from a ten-week break. In the money first-up last prep over this distance at Coffs Harbour. Should be about the mark again. DAZZLING ROBERT (14) turned in an eye-catching effort at Ballina recently. Hard one to catch but looks ready to show his best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Snatchreilly and Boambee Beach.
