    Race Analysis

    SOUTHERLY BUSTER (7) started at 8/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths at Warwick Farm over 1m2 3/4f. Has the ability to take this out. GOLDEN SMILE (6) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish a neck back in second over 1m2f at Hawkesbury. Placed to advantage and can take this out. SO YOU READY (10) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1m2 1/2f at Beaumont (Newcastle) when beaten 6 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. MONTY BE QUICK (3) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by a neck last time out over 1m2f at Hawkesbury. Winning rider Mitch Stapleford stays aboard. Among the top-three hopes.
