|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo with Jade Division to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest.
TRUMPTY DUMPTY (7) has contested three consecutive Class 2 races and has performed well without threatening. Finds a far easier assignment today and the step up in distance should work in his favour. Expecting a turnaround in form. SEVEN MILE MISSILE (2) wound up strongly to be beaten under a length over 1200m at Warren when second-up after a year off the scene. Drops a level or two here. One run at this trip for win and it will be no surprise if that 100% remains intact. SANZENO (5) led but couldn't keep going over the mile at Quirindi recently. Will race on the pace and back at this trip he looks a serious contender. EAST HARLEM (8) has won three times at this trip and almost made it four last time out when edged out in a thriller at Gundagai. Always a chance in this sort of race. SHADOW DANE (3) won a Class 3 two back over the mile at Coonabarabran which is strong form for a race of this calibre. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Trumpty Dumpty and Seven Mile Missile.
