|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Sizzling pace from Overpass, Hidden Wealth and Rothfire locking horns ahead of Schwarz and Mazu. A cracking edition of the $1.5 million Group 1 Doomben 10,000. OVERPASS (1) returned in fine fashion with a close-up second in the G1 TJ Smith before just tiring late in the Quokka over in the west. Is an eight-time winner over this six-furlong journey and has a fantastic affinity with hoop Parr. Should give backers a great sight. SUNSHINE IN PARIS (12) can't seem to draw a gate but certainly hasn't disgraced herself this time in work. Has placed over this track and trip and maybe some McDonald magic can navigate the sticky draw. BENEDETTA (14) saves her best form for this distance range and is more than capable on her day. Keep very safe. SCHWARZ (2) got the lucrative Group 1 on the board last time out and has kept ticking over with two recent trial wins. Sure to be thereabouts. MAZU (3) best of the rest after a last-start win in the Hall Mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Overpass to bounce back.
