DARK OPAL (8) raced in town last time and missed the frame, finishing seventh at Ascot and beaten 4 lengths. Will find this easier. Among the leading chances in this company. DENVER AFFAIR (9) did little and finished 3 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1100m at Albany last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at this track the run before. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TOP OF THE WALK (1) returns after seven months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1100m at Bunbury. Placed in a recent trial. Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. FLYING CHOUX (2) is resuming from a spell of eight months and having his first run for the Brett Pope yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Bunbury over 1400m.
