Divine Conclusion, Written By Lucy and Insane Volt to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. WRITTEN BY LUCY (3) followed up a strong first-up effort with a gutsy all-the-way win over today's distance at Nowra last start. Won't find this any harder and with further improvement likely at this stage of the prep another win looks on the cards. BROGANS CREEK (5) has been narrowly defeated at both runs this time in work, the latest just seven days ago when a photo went against him in a BM50 over this distance at Wellington. Perfectly drawn to add to his sound record here at this trip. BRIEF STATEMENT (1) overcame early interference to be beaten just a neck in a similar race here 26 days ago. Big chance with another effort like that. SORRENTO PALACE (2) is a good fresh performer back from a 23-week spell. Loves this trip so a solid return seems likely. INSANE VOLT (6) stepped up in class but managed to lead all the way and salute over 1100m at Nowra recently. Just one placing in ten runs on good tracks rings alarms. SUGGESTED PLAY: Written By Lucy looks a great bet to close Cup Day.

BRIEF STATEMENT
ALISON SMITH 7YO BAY MARE 63.0KG N A Smith, Miss L G Smith & C E Fisher Most recently came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track Bm58 on March 22 over 1000m, neck behind Denman Force with 60.5kg at $16. The start before that raced on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 12 at Dubbo Bm82 on March 6 over 1100m, 7 len behind Inazuma Boy with 53kg at $21. Not far away of late. Can play a key role with a repeat of that last effort. |
