Gunner Lindley made all under today's rider over a mile here a week ago but the assessor has had his say with a massive 10lb rise. Morga will enjoy the conditions but has yet to prove she stays this far unlike course and distance winner CASTLE GUEST, who has won three of his last four and looks capable of scoring again despite a 7lb rise for his victory at Gowran. Pay Day Kitten is a very progressive filly who will enjoy the conditions and will be finishing stronger than most while Fulminata has been staying on well over shorter trips so this could bring about further improvement.
