3:50am - NSW BOOKMAKER CO-OPERATIVE HANDICAP | 1350m | | i

MANHATTAN MIST a possible leader here with STELLA SEA SUN and COMMANDER not far away (tempo: STEADY). STELLA SEA SUN was close up in a strong form race first-up, handles the wet well and gets James Mac on here second-up, a strong combination. She comes up against JULIAN ROCK following his dominant win into the headwind at Randwick. His form was only plain before that start, but he does have some very good wet track credentials. The in-form JEN RULES and veteran ROYAL TUDOR (wide first-up, won trial since) next best in the ratings. NO ESCAPE a knock-out chance if he parades well, a real mudder. [updated 8:28am]
