On pace runners, 1, 2, 3, 11. KOWLOON MAGNATE handed in a gallant Muswellbrook effort second up and after a thirty-two day break last start. This quicker back-up must be regarded as a plus when he is produced within the same distance range today. WHAT A GENT can be forgiven for an unplaced frontrunning effort at Muswelllbrook when he was competing in the same race last contested by KOWLOON MAGNATE. ORDINARY ANGEL did all but win when he tackled this distance here fourth up and he can be expected to maintain his form today. STRASBELLE struck a traffic problem at Muswellbrook when she kept trying in defeat. This race is within her reach. RAFA presents on debut after trialing twice recently at Scone with Olivia Dalton aboard on both occasions. This testing distance should not cause any problems at her first start with Olivia retaining the ride.
