On pace runners, 3, 5, 6, 7. SUBSIDING takes on mostly older opposition but the same was the case when she conceded the leader/winner too great a start first up at Lismore in a race that's already produced a subsequent start winner. Stepping up from 1110m should now aid her cause. JENNIBELLE handed in a solid front-running effort in defeat at home (Grafton) last start when she was produced after a fifty-nine day break. This quicker back-up (thirteen days) must be regarded as a plus today. PRESTIGE EXOTIC raced too keenly over 1526m at Lismore. He should travel more kindly here over this shorter journey. SORTED was spelled after there were excuses for an unplaced debut attempt at the Sunshine Coast. He begins his second campaign today after a stable change and a new home based Taree trial. With blinkers now added to his gear, he can return to the races much improved.
