|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo with Trouve and Miss Pepeha pressing for the lead. APPARATE (11) senior rider goes on for this and has excellent wet track credentials. No match for the classy Hell Of A Fox when seventh over 1400m at Goulburn on May 30. Performs fresh and has genuine claims. WINEHOUSE (10) back in class and the blinkers go on for the first time after jumping in trip when seventh over 1400m here. Gets a better run today and assess on her maiden victory three back. Improver. TROUVE (4) is now in the Kerry Weir stable after finishing a respectable fourth over 1100m at Gundagai. Kept fresh and not to be underestimated. LUNA ANGEL (13) is mixing her form of late and will appreciate the claim and class drop. Has heavy track form and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Apparate in a fairly tough contest.
