|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pace genuine with Cool Storm and Wangi Wangi pressing hard closely followed by Tonkatsu Goddess and Bonjour Madame. WANGI WANGI (11) won on debut at Gosford then didn't have a lot of peace up front and tired late to finish fourth last start over this distance at Kembla. Tim Clark going on today is a positive move. Sure to give backers a great sight. DUSTY BAY (10) hasn't been beaten far in his two runs this prep, the latest a game third here at this trip in a Class 1. Drawn to enjoy a sit behind a strong tempo and he will be tough to hold out. TONKATSU GODDESS (1) comes here off a six-week let-up. Raced very well through the winter at the provincials, relishing the heavy tracks. Recent trial winner who should be forward enough to run well, although she may be less effective on top of the ground. ALIGNED (7) just missed in a thriller over 1250m here last start. Appreciated getting back in a firmer track that day and can go on with it. The speedy COOL STORM (3) can improve dropping back to the provincials. SUGGESTED PLAY: Giving Wangi Wangi another chance.
