Geostorm has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. LADY YARROW (7) thrown in the deep end with a battling seventh over 1400m at Hawkesbury in the Provincial Mid Champs behind Matcha Latte. Both wins are at this course and should prove too good for these in this average race. SMARTER THAN YOU (2) slashing effort with the 61.5kg for an eye-catching fourth over 1400m at Wagga. Fitter now and has genuine claims. NAGADEC (9) races best with her runs spaced. Tagged the good tempo with a game third over 1400m at Nowra. Best form is good enough to take this out. MAGICAL MOMENTS (1) racing well on the provincial circuit and can bounce back quickly in this contest. Just under a month between runs with a fighting fifth over 1400m at Newcastle. Has further upside and stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,2,9,1.
