A strong tempo is anticipated. FERGHANA (1) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fourth when fresh from a spell two starts back at Mt Isa then improved and scored over 1300m at Barcaldine nine days ago, getting home by a long neck. In form and worth following up. PARISIENNE PIPER (4) was in the money two starts back at Esk but couldn't back it up last time when eighth, beaten 10 lengths, at Kilcoy over 2076m after being in the firing line on the turn. First run for new yard and has pace. Can give a sight this company. YA LOVE HER (8) turned in a strong run last time when second at Barcaldine just nine days ago. Backing up quickly over the longer journey. Strong run last time and is a winning chance. WANT TO BE PROUD (9) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2.5 lengths away in third over 1200m at Barcaldine. Nicely placed to fill another top-three spot. FINAL COMMENT (3) is sure to be primed for this and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Ferghana.
