THAMES has been given a stable change since his game latest Scone effort in a race that produced strong form. He's resuming, at home and his first up Pakenham effort last preparation was even better than it appears on paper! BIG RED TEQUILA handed in quick closing sectionals to score third up after a twenty-five day break on the Kensington track. A quicker back-up will now be a plus when she returns to her home base. USEAPIN shouldn't be harshly judged for an unplaced latest Randwick performance when she was competing in stronger class. VANLEE presents third up with Blinkers added to her gear. Stepping back up to tackle this journey should aid her cause when she returns to her home base today. BURJ is also resuming. Tom Sherry was aboard during two lead-up January trials and this Randwick based mare can play a part in this class first up.
