AU - Wyong - Race 7

FORMAL DISPLAY (2) resumes and his Scone trials suggest he's set to race boldly. Proven fresh and his numbers stack right up. He'll position forward and benefitting from a 3lbs claim will be hard to roll. HOPPER (9) was quickly back to his best second-up, comfortably winning a CL1 over 7f at Kembla Grange. He's been kept ticking over with a Rosehill trial and Gibbons can position forward. Carries 7lbs less in tougher and has the race fitness. The Snowden yard is flying. On song, EMIRATE (1) rates a threat. Was in the market but cruelled by a wide gate at Rosehill first-up and is capable of quick improvement. He's won second-up, and JMac stays aboard. Just needs a touch of luck from the sticky gate. VIENNA VIXEN (11) tumbles in weight off a narrow defeat over 7f at Warwick Farm. That brings him into it, and he jumps from the paint. DIDDLE DUMPLING (7) is up to this at best but has the outside gate to contend with. Keep onside all the same.
