OVERVIEW: BAY OF BISCAY (6) returns from the Queensland Winter Carnival and will take beating after his massive second behind Major Hot in the Queensland Derby. He also finished second in the New South Wales Derby earlier in the season and won the Nutrien Classic so he is a quality horse. SWEET BELLA (4) is resuming since a third in the Breeders Crown Final in November but she has been placed in two recent trial performances and has built up the strong record of 8 wins from just 13 starts so she cannot be underestimated. ARGGGHHH (3) has improved with every run this preparation and finished off well when a close second behind Roadmaster last week. He is better drawn for this assignment and must be included amongst the leading chances. FIRST DANCE (2), CLYMENUS (5) and CLASSIC MISSION (7) are all worth thought in multiple combinations.

OVERVIEW: BAY OF BISCAY (6) returns from the Queensland Winter Carnival and will take beating after his massive second behind Major Hot in the Queensland Derby. He also finished second in the New South Wales Derby earlier in the season and won the Nutrien Classic so he is a quality horse. SWEET BELLA (4) is resuming since a third in the Breeders Crown Final in November but she has been placed in two recent trial performances and has built up the strong record of 8 wins from just 13 starts so she cannot be underestimated. ARGGGHHH (3) has improved with every run this preparation and finished off well when a close second behind Roadmaster last week. He is better drawn for this assignment and must be included amongst the leading chances. FIRST DANCE (2), CLYMENUS (5) and CLASSIC MISSION (7) are all worth thought in multiple combinations.

OVERVIEW: BAY OF BISCAY (6) returns from the Queensland Winter Carnival and will take beating after his massive second behind Major Hot in the Queensland Derby. He also finished second in the New South Wales Derby earlier in the season and won the Nutrien Classic so he is a quality horse. SWEET BELLA (4) is resuming since a third in the Breeders Crown Final in November but she has been placed in two recent trial performances and has built up the strong record of 8 wins from just 13 starts so she cannot be underestimated. ARGGGHHH (3) has improved with every run this preparation and finished off well when a close second behind Roadmaster last week. He is better drawn for this assignment and must be included amongst the leading chances. FIRST DANCE (2), CLYMENUS (5) and CLASSIC MISSION (7) are all worth thought in multiple combinations.
