The best bets for Wednesday racing from the team.
In a race that feels more like a provincial maiden, recent Waller acquisition Golden Century (3) has the quality to break through. Sent out favourite but has come up short in both runs this prep at or around the mile. NZ Derby placegetter last season so this step up in trip is ideal. Should prove too good for these.
Fiddlers Green (11) is right up to this and assess his chances on an impressive 1L defeat on the Lakeside two starts back. He has a soft draw and will carry just 53kg this grade with the claim. He is still well shy of his best and has decent claims.
The well-related Some Style (5) (half to G1 winner Peeping) has been knocking on the door of a maiden victory, finishing runner-up at her past four starts and this is not an overly strong affair. Only needs some luck getting across from the wide draw to be playing a major role in the outcome.
Swift Talker (7) was an impressive winner on debut at Northam, scoring by 1.4L in Heavy going. The track will be a little firmer today and he gets the tongue tie applied this time. Likely to settle back in the field but with improvement likely now, he's an attractive proposition.
Suspect that Enciphering (1) is the best horse in the race and, back to this grade with the 3kg claim, he'll get his chance to win again. His best form is superior to his rivals and, with the right run from a middle draw, he'll be finishing over the top.
