3:25am - PRO IT HANDICAP | 1350m | | i

CONARCHIE should stride across with MAPMAKER on the outside, company from GRESHAM and FORTENSKY kicking up on the inside (tempo: FAIR). GRESHAM is very reliable and enjoys this distance range, he sets the benchmark for others to beat from the inside barrier with the claim. A few threats, including the flying RIVER BIRD, who seems suited up to 1400m but may find the drying track a negative. FORTENSKY, MAPMAKER, FOXY HOUSEWIFE and VICEROY all with claims, along with ROYAL TUDOR, who has found some form and rates in the mix on just 53.5kg. Tricky, the best ride will make a big difference.
