5:55am - AQUALAND CRAVEN PLATE | 2000m | Group 3 | i

One of the most popular Sydney gallopers lines up over 2000m in the G3 Craven Plate. HAPPY CLAPPER will be in the box seat behind a FAIR tempo set by CLASSIC UNIFORM and EMBLEY, both horses that like to get rolling from the turn. With a G1 win last start and 'Winx form' before that how are they going to beat him!? A lot of rain could have been a risk up to 2000m, but the wind seems to have blown all that away. MACKINTOSH a rough each-way hope with a better ride, he'll be tested over the final 200m. STAR EXHIBIT and MCCREERY both safer place chances running on along with the tough guy CLASSIC UNIFORM. HE’S OUR ROKKII Blinkers OFF AGAIN, PRINCE CHERI Blinkers AGAIN. [updated 8:50am]
