Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. SWINGING HIGH (9) came from the tail to score stylishly over 1100m at Goulburn last start, with Amy O’Driscoll retaining the ride. Has the turn of foot to feature prominently again. GOOLOO BUCKY (5) is coming off a win at Moruya and is down 2.5kg from last run. Looks well suited here and can run another bold race. TALUK (8) was beaten 1.3 lengths into third at Wagga Riverside two starts ago then appeared at Goulburn last time and finished sixth. Can handle the heavy track and rates a solid chance here. DEEKAYGEEBEE (10) was disappointing last start but if he can recapture the form that saw him finish second two runs back he can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Swinging High to win.
