Good tempo with Loose Love and More Mischief leading the way. Tough way to end the day. FROM THE BUSH (3) appreciated the drop in class when a tiring third over today's trip at Hawkesbury on June 25. Backs-up quickly with the claim again and the wide gate shouldn't pose a problem this late in the day. Due for a change of luck. HIGHBALLER (2) smart gelding who comes to hand quickly. Sat on the speed with the 60kg on resumption when a sound second over 1400m at Nowra on June 13. Goes equally as well second-up and Braith Nock rides with the 3kg claim. SILVAKIA (12) fitter after two runs back and will keep improving as she gets out in trip. Failed to sprint with them on the tight Wyong track when fifth over 1600m on June 13. Gets the claim again and sure to be strong late. UTOPIAN WINE (7) had no luck from the wide gate here on resumption when a close-up 11th over 1300m here on June 20. Undefeated second-up and the wide gate is of no real concern on the rain affected track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,2,12,7.
