Anticipate Gabby's Ready, Missin' De Quo and Bullseye Banjo to set a strong tempo. Former NSW galloper FOURSOMES (7) just missed the placings in her debut run down south before being tipped out for time to furnish. Should find this assignment a touch easier and can play a role in her first local outing. GABBY'S READY (8) has placed three of four over this course and distance and looks to be knocking on the door of a maiden victory. Likely to feature. BLEDISLOE (1) will strip fitter second-up from the break and should sit handy in the run from gate three. In the mix. BULLSEYE BANJO (2) put in a career-best performance when resuming and may have turned the corner now. Ready to go one better. The well-related NAPA VALLEY (3) (half to G1 winner Capital Gain) next best in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,8,1,2.
