Plenty of pace with Oh Diamond Lil and Surfin' Bird leading from Arriving Home.
Most of the chances here went around in the 1300m Hawkesbury Crown a fortnight ago. SURFIN' BIRD (9) was denied by the barest margin when resuming in that Group 3 feature after giving everything in the closing stages. Crossed from a wide alley that day but draws in close this time. Fitter and looks ready to go one better. ARRIVING HOME (12) led and gave a great sight at Hawkesbury but was gunned down late and finished 0.6 lengths off Surfin' Bird. Meets her 2kgs better so there won't be much in it again. OH DIAMOND LIL (6) choked down when fresh from a spell last start so the run is best overlooked. Has won at this level and is capable of testing this field if all is well. COUNTYOURBLESSINGS (15) closed in great style to finish midfield when resuming in the Gold Rush. Another 100m on a roomier track brings her right into calculations. MORE TERRITORIES (11) has been freshened up since an eye-catching effort in the G2 Sapphire at Randwick. Will get back but watch for her late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Surfin' Bird.
