On pace runners, 1, 2, 5, 8. HONNIBALL DRIVE must be forgiven for a Dubbo defeat at short odds when there were excuses. She can atone here at her third start in her first campaign. SWEET LEAF performed well above market place expectations last start at Randwick and stepping back slightly in distance will be of no concern here when she presents after a twenty day break. COLUMBO has trialed twice since a spell at his Warwick Farm home base and he's now more than ready to tackle this opposition on debut. WRITE ME A LETTER has trialed once at her Scone home base, either side of a spell. She presents on debut today and she isn't out of place in this class.
