Rain forecast for Friday & Saturday. Difficult to predict how the track will end up, but likely to be anywhere between a Soft 6 and a Heavy 9.

SPEED MAP RACING TIPS

Slow tempo expected here. Maximal and Kolding may lob in front. Mount Popa, Think It Over, Duais and Top Ranked can race handy. Montefilia, Colette, Verry Elleegant, She’s Ideel & Angel Of Truth likely lob back of midfield. Hungry Heart & Stockman usually race right out the back.

KEY RUNNERS + RACING TIPS

1.  Think It Over

G1 winner who has won 5 of his last 6 starts and over $3.3m prizemoney. Won the Apollo Stakes by 3L first up. The big query here is the wet track. Certainly races best on dry so risking here

3.  Top Ranked

Ran 3rd beaten 1.9L in The Hunter in first Aus run. Did win a G3 mile race at Haydock on a heavy track so wet shouldn’t be an issue. Is first up here

5.  Angel Of Truth

Loves wet tracks and does have a good fresh up record. If the track is a real heavy tester, he can surprise and at least place at huge odds.

6.  Stockman

Loves it wet and although G1 WFA is a big step up, he will be one who relishes the conditions and can run into a placing at odds.

8. Verry Elleegant

Melbourne Cup winner, who won this race last year. Races very well on wet tracks so looks the one to beat here

9. Colette

Another who loves wet tracks and was a close 2nd in this race last year. Won the G1 Empire Rose over a mile in the Spring and was a good 2nd first up. Strong chance.

---

SUMMARY

Think either Verry Elleegant or Colette win.

 Top Ranked & Stockman can also run placings here.

BETTING STRATEGY

No official bets given my ratings are fairly aligned with the market. Angel Of Truth worth a small place bet at huge odds. Think It Over the potential lay if the track stays Heavy.
