Cracking tempo with Blackhill Kitty and Shaquila leading the way. PLENITUDE (1) has placed at Highway level in Sydney and is down in class on a handy effort in open sprint company at Dubbo. Drawn okay and claim helps, has a good chance to notch an overdue win. HAZE (3) is fitter for two runs back and led last time out when holding fourth at Dubbo. Had some support so now he's getting to a peak he could be harder to beat. MRS BULL (4) doesn't win out of turn but she scored a surprise first-up win in this grade at Dubbo two weeks ago. Consistent and has to be included as an each-way chance. FANTASY CROWNED (10) and SHAQUILA (11) are among the chances in an open race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Plenitude to win.
