The only query with the pair and what makes it slightly more intriguing is that OVERPASS has drawn inside FRONT PAGE. Will FRONT PAGE be content sitting in the breeze or will they look to cross OVERPASS early, who in past visits to WA has shown a happiness to breeze and get himself out to the centre of the Ascot deck. I\u2019d be surprised if they cooked it. <strong>CROCETTI<\/strong> and <strong>WEST STAR<\/strong> both draw just under this pair and will look to tuck under and follow them across in what should be position A. A couple of great backs to be on. <strong>WESTERN EMPIRE<\/strong> was ridden forward in a recent trial and I suspect, with the addition of the winkers, they\u2019ll be semi aggressive out of the gates. The camp will be fully aware they can\u2019t be giving OVERPASS too big a head start. <strong>HEADWALL<\/strong> draws awkwardly in 8. Will have all the above as well as the likes of the lowly drawn <strong>ROPE THEM IN, BRAVE SPIRIT<\/strong> and even <strong>MAGIFICENT ANDY<\/strong> in front of him. Very hard without an obvious back and seemingly a long way from the leaders.<\/p>\n<p>When we have a race with such strong leaders who we know will take those mapped well deep into the straight, it can quickly become an impossibility for the backmarkers involved.<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n              <div class=\"expert-tips__row block\">\n      <div class=\"container reduced-width relative py-6 md:pt-4\">\n        <div class=\"expert-tips__wrap pb-6 lg:pb-12\">\n          <h2 class=\"font-bold font-montserrat text-xl md:text-[26px] text-bf-yellow text-center md:text-left mb-4 uppercase\">RACE PREVIEW<\/h2>\n          <div class=\"mb-5 md:mb-6 text-sm md:text-base\">\n            <p>I think most of the Quokka previews you see this week will read pretty similar with OVERPASS the very common selection. \u00a0He\u2019s already into sub even money with most corporates in the first 24 hours of final field betting and it\u2019s not hard to see why. \u00a0You could just about argue this Quokka is the best setup he\u2019s faced in any of his 4 victories out West. \u00a0A few people will point to the fact Maharba was unlucky in last years Winterbottom and perhaps goes close with equal luck, but we also need to remember OVERPASS drew the river with a stack of speed underneath him. \u00a0They simply had to be coming at him late. \u00a0HEADWALL is this races MAHARBA. \u00a0Has gone to another level this campaign and there will be those that say he would have beaten OVERPASS home with normal luck in the TJ Smith. \u00a0He\u2019s a clear second elect, but as mentioned above, the map is horrible and we also haven\u2019t seen him travel across the country and do it 4 times, like we have with OVERPASS. \u00a0The strong consensus is the Galaxy form is inferior, and that FRONT PAGE does his best work fresh, which means he\u2019d need OVERPASS to be off his game to win. \u00a0\u00a0In saying that, what a great map to do it relatively easily from the breeze (still think he\u2019s a chance to cross) and be there for a long way.\u00a0\u00a0From a local perspective those drawn well in a race with strong leaders look the obvious to perform best. \u00a0WEST STAR is the unknown X factor who would have jumped $1.50 in a Placid Ark 6 months ago had injury not struck, while\u00a0WESTERN EMPIRE and\u00a0GENEROSITY also have the draws to finish in the first 6. \u00a0I simply can\u2019t go past OVERPASS, with it just being a case of what price is enough for a bet? \u00a0Just on map I\u2019m putting FRONT PAGE in for second. \u00a0If they control it as I suspect they can out in front, it will make it awfully difficult with the potential conditions of the day for those behind to make the ground.<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n              <div class=\"expert-tips__row block\">\n      <div class=\"container reduced-width relative py-6 md:pt-4\">\n        <div class=\"expert-tips__wrap pb-6 lg:pb-12\">\n          <h2 class=\"font-bold font-montserrat text-xl md:text-[26px] text-bf-yellow text-center md:text-left mb-4 uppercase\">TOP 4 SELECTIONS<\/h2>\n          <div class=\"mb-5 md:mb-6 text-sm md:text-base\">\n            <p>#1 Overpass<br \/>\n#2 Front Page<br \/>\n#6 Headwall<br \/>\n#13 West Star<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        \n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"expert-tips__row block\">\n      <div class=\"container reduced-width relative py-6 md:pt-4\">\n        <div class=\"expert-tips__wrap pb-6 lg:pb-12\">\n                      <h2 class=\"font-bold font-montserrat text-xl lg:text-[26px] text-bf-yellow text-center md:text-left mb-4 uppercase\">BETTING STRATEGIES<\/h2>\n                              <div class=\"mb-2.5 md:mb-3 text-sm md:text-base\">\n            <p>**Terry Leighton monitors market fluctuations, track conditions, weather, scratchings, stewards\u2019 notifications, and general news before submitting their betting strategies for NSW Group 1s.

As the markets continue to mature the price of Front Page continues to ease.  If the Overpass price is too thin, a place heavy (or place only) on him at $3+ could come into consideration.
