Strong tempo assured with Hit Song, The Defiant One and Lady Cornelia rolling to the front. THE IMPECKABLE (1) ran a handy race at Highway level last time and ran well in benchmark 66 grade before that. Claim helps offset the weight and he does appear one of the hardest to beat. ZAHDI (6) ran well fresh then backed it up with a closing third behind a smart one at Scone. Close to peak and a repeat of last couple would see her in the finish. CAPICELLA (5) won at Queanbeyan before disappointing when in the market at Tamworth earlier in the month. Worth another chance. MRS BULL (4) is always around the mark and KALAHARI HEART (11) ran an improved race last time and could fill a placing again. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Impeckable to win. Save on Zahdi.
