---|---|---|---|---|
Just One Look to take it up at a decent gallop. DOLLY BIRD (9) made her first appearance in 14 months when a respectable fifth over this distance at Queanbeyan recently. Sure to take a lot from that outing and will be tough to stop at good odds in an even contest. The lightly raced NEGATION (11) returns from a 24-week spell and has transferred to the Cameron Crockett stable. Ex-Queenslander who has placed 3/5 when fresh so she is in the mix first-up in what looks a much easier race than those encountered when last in work. SARDONYX (10) is back from a 28-week break. Opened last prep with a thumping win at Dubbo then started favourite at the next three runs but let punters down. Big threat while fresh. WILLINGALE (5) was beaten a length in a Class 1 over this distance at Newcastle two starts ago which is strong form for a race of this calibre. Last start Kempsey winner CATCHY TUNES (6) is in the mix again with the help of a nice gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dolly Bird each-way in an open race.
