OPAWA MUDGEE (4) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Thrilling Issac (22.02) in a Class 1. Chased the leaders and with a clean run can be prominent. Deserves serious consideration. CONNIE'S COMET (6) produced a moderate performance last time when sixth at this track over 375m behind Thrilling Issac (22.17) in a Class 1. Shapes as one to consider. MILLIE'S CHOICE (8) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at Wanganui Straight over 313m behind Star Boy Express (18.34) in a R/A. Has ability and can atone. SWIFT SHADOW (2) has strong claims after a long-odds top-three finish last time out.
