|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pace on from the outset with Cheval Savant, Celestial Fury and Two Up pushing forward, closely attended by Let's Go Bro. MONDO (3) has an outside gate and plenty of weight but his recent form is compelling. Scored a couple of soft wins here over 1400m before an eye-catching third at Hawkesbury last start. Big chance to return to the winner's list. MACLEAY (11) came from the clouds to win the 1400m Moree Cup last time out which followed some sound lead-up form. Will go back again from the wide alley but can storm home on the back of a strong tempo. WHATADILEMMA (12) was excellent first-up from a spell over the mile at Kembla recently, knuckling down late but just missing out. Has a fine second-up record so although coming back in trip he looks a serious contender. OENOLOGY (13) appeared for the first time in 13 months when a close second over 1400m at Tamworth last start. Meets a better field today but draws nicely and drops 2kgs so he is right in the mix. BEHIND THE STORM (15) was a big winner over this distance at Muswellbrook two back and can play a role with a repeat of that effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mondo each-way in a tough one to close Cup Day.
