Pony Soprano should find the front with Punch One Out and Pensativa on his heels. CLEAR THINKING (4) Kosciuszko winner who returned off the one trial with a fading ninth over 1290m at Muswellbrook in the H&NW Champs from the sticky gate. Gives the impression she can run a strong 1400m with cover back in the field. Hard to hold out. SCRIPTED (13) comes here in peak condition and steps up to this trip for the first time. Recent runs in Queensland have been sound and not without genuine top-three claims. LUNAITE (14) lightly raced mare who comes to hand quickly. Savaged the line first-up with a game fifth over 1200m at Port Macquarie in the MNC Champs. Can race a little closer from the draw with the winkers going on. Well placed to take this out. UPWARDLY MOBILE (6) has a good record on her home track and going better than her current price suggests. Drawn to stalk the speed and not to be overlooked. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Clear Thinking looks set to bounce back.
