Tricky and the betting will be instructive. COUPLES RETREAT (7) resumes and started her last campaign impressively when placing over 1100m at Hawkesbury. That stacks right up. Brings a solid trial and has a handy 2kg claim. Rates well and should take some beating if presented ready. MADRINA (2) switched from the Waterhouse-Bott yard and resumed here with a good effort from a wide barrier. She rates well clear of these at best and will present fitter. Has an inside barrier today and the 3kg claim brings her right into it. A BAR IN PARIS (10) resumes off an Open 2 win at Mudgee when she led. Will be naturally improved and the 2kg claim is handy. Has to be kept very safe. BLANC DE NOIR (8) is a local who was backed off the map winning a Moruya Maiden first-up. She's switched from a leading metro yard and has plenty up her sleeve. A player. GOGMAGOG (3) found more like his best when nudged out at Newcastle this grade and will be better for that.
