5:05am - MOSTYN COPPER SHOW COUNTY QUALITY | 1200m | Group 3 | i

A couple of progressive 4YOs, a talented import and a sprinter unbeaten at Randwick all come together here in this G3. Early speed from BON AMIS, MANDYLION, BALLER and DOTHRAKI should make sure of a FAIR to STRONG tempo. DEPRIVE has won his last four in a row at Randwick, getting the benefit of a strong tempo at his last three. He's still got big upside and will be very hard to beat if the speed is honest and Rachel King finds space from the inside draw. TROPE and BALLER both with big upside too, stretching to high grade against the older horses first-up (racing about 9kg out of grade). BALLER stood out at the trials, beating DOTHRAKI under a hold. And CASCADIAN is the import that could blow them all out of the water late. He's got G1 form and the trial was sharp. [updated 8:52am]
