---|---|---|---|---|
Strong early tempo with Draco's Fire leading the way. MAGNATEAR (2) underrated gelding who races best with his runs spaced. Will appreciate this easier contest and extra trip after fading to finish fourth over 1400m at Newcastle in the Provincial CQ on March 2. Finished second in Midway grade two back over the mile and expected to play a leading role today. ALLAPERCANTO (11) talented filly fitter after two runs back. Sent north for this after jumping in grade when 12th behind War Machine over 1400m in the LR Bendigo Guineas on April 13. Placed this track and trip last time in and expecting more today. WEMBANYAMA (4) promising Dundeel gelding who returned for second prep with a sound maiden win, before rattling late over the tight Wyong track when third over 1350m on April 11. Looking for this trip and J Mac takes the ride. DRACO'S FIRE (8) scored two starts back at Goulburn before finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1600m at Wyong. Hard to leave out on current form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,11,4,8.
