Miss Farnan and Whack Attack can be prominent. LIGHT INFANTRY (3) consistent five-year-old who was anchored with the 59kg for a close-up third over 1100m at Hawkesbury. At his top for this and no shock to see him return to winning form. MISS FARNAN (7) deep into the prep and can take control early and prove hard to run down. Faded late with the 59.5kg when safely held to run second. Will give a ton of cheek again in a competitive contest. EMERY (10) showed ability last time in and came to the end of the campaign with a battling sixth over 1550m at Canterbury in BM72 class last December. Back with the two good trials under the belt and look for her late. VIS I DO (13) raced much closer to the speed first-up with an encouraging third over 1200m at Illawarra Grange. Gets in light again with the claim and expected to play a leading role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Light Infantry and Miss Farnan are set to fight it out.
