|---|---|---|---|---|

There is good pace and pressure forecast in this last event of the day over a dash for the cash 1000m. TOSSUFORIT (8) is a class riser in this after last start win. Drops 2.5kg here importantly. She can win this too. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER (7) won very well fresh up. Class riser in this but he has upside galore. He can win again no doubt about it. CONTEMPLATION BAY (2) is a multiple class dropper here. Triple track winner so far. Definite chance here drawn well. Include the 4yo mare everywhere in this. BELLO MIO (9) he has won third up before. Chance after a 4kg claim in this very speedy field. MISS NICO BELLE (4) she is an improver on her fresh up run for a new stable. Drawn wide in this. Value chance to be in all of your multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tossuforit and Knowledge Is Power are win wagers.
