5:05am - IRRESISTIBLE POOLS SHERACO STAKES | 1200m | Group 3 | i

A showdown between two of the most consistent sprinting mares in Australia. CATKINS is the queen of Sydney racing, but BOUNDING is ready to stake her claim after a big 4 length win over the talented Rich Enuff first-up. The new recruit for the Snowden stable has the scope to become a Spring Carnival star. A good amount of early speed (could be a FAIR to STRONG tempo) just might play into the hands of Waller's veteran though, watch for McDonald pulling her to the outside at the top of the straight to unleash her finishing sprint. Of the others, PEEPING and MIHIRI both have a place chance from nice barriers.
