---|---|---|---|---|
Cracking pace early with Speak Now, Rock Together and Sonny Daze leading the charge. SPEAK NOW (1) was formerly in the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable and is now with trainer Michael Morrison. Had good form in Victoria last campaign and this looks a winnable race first-up for the new stable from the inside draw. First-up last time SPEAK NOW won a BM64 over 1300m on the Sandown-Lakeside course. SONNY DAZE (8) was unplaced last start but prior to that had won a 1200m C1 on the Gold Coast Poly track first-up and then finished a close 2nd as favourite in a 1050m C2 on the same track. Has Michael Cahill aboard and looks an each-way chance. THUNDER MANIA (7) ran 7th at the Sunshine Coast last start on a heavy track but on a better-rated surface he could certainly improve. In the mix on his best form from a good draw. SO GREYSFUL (11) won two starts back at Grafton and has also drawn nicely here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Speak Now.
