5:55am - WINTER RACING HANDICAP | 1600m | | i

A few possible on-pacers here over the mile; SCHOLARLY, MONSIEUR SISU, CONDOR, PIRATE BEN and MONASTERIO all capable of rolling forward (tempo: FAIR to STRONG). CONDOR is a progressive type that found the line well enough last start over 1300m to suggest he's ready for this third-up. His form-lines last prep simply put him above this grade, a smart ride needed rolling into a spot from out wide. ZAVANCE an obvious threat after running 3rd at G3 level in Queensland. She does go up 2.5kg in the NSW ratings for that placing. MONSIEUR SISU always around the mark and TRAVANCORE a winning chance if he sees out the 1600m. Something he didn't do for his last trainer.
