---|---|---|---|---|
Tonkatsu Goddess and Monkhana will press forward in a keen battle for the lead.
DUKE OF CAMDEN (5) dominated first-up over 1200m at Gosford then had every chance but was a little disappointing here last time. Has raced once in heavy going and scored. Worth another chance. CLUEDO (8) led for the judge over 1400m at Newcastle last time out but couldn't maintain the pressure and was swamped late. Strips fitter and drops 4.5kgs under today's scale which will be a big help in these conditions. TONKATSU GODDESS (7) was rewarded for consistency with a tough all-the-way win over 1200m at Gosford recently. Genuine mare who gets through the sloppy conditions well. No surprise if she got the job done again. FORBIDDEN RIFF (11) warmed up when the race was all over first-up at Kembla. One to watch for late in the piece. FLYING ARGYLE (3) ran a better race last start at Newcastle and should be peaking at the fourth run back from a spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Duke Of Camden each-way.
