WASHIK (10) at her top for his and gets in light with the claim. Adept in all conditions and like the way she closed off when fourth over 1300m here on April 19. Can get cover from the gate and finds a nice race. EGYPITIAN'S REWARD (6) returned for her second prep when a game fifth over 1300m here. Clearly come back stronger and has genuine top three prospects. CATHEDRAL COVE (5) finished in the minor money at all three runs back and drops in weight for this. Leading rider booked and expected to see him a little closer to the speed today. No shock to see him take this out. RUBILACE (7) hampered by bad gates all prep and today is no different. Never in the contest when going back from the draw to finish eighth over 1400m at Canberra. Claim helps and goes into the exotics.
