SISTERS PICK (5) is racing well. Scored at Warren in a then finished third, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 6f at Canberra at the latest appearance six weeks ago. Reunites with jockey Jessica Brookes who knows her well, including two wins while aboard. Well placed and should be in the finish. DESTINY'S BOUNTY (6) finished 5.5 lengths back in fourth over 5f at Queanbeyan last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Should park just off the speed. Likely to feature. SMART AND DAPPER (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Mudgee, beaten 6 lengths into fifth after being in contention on the turn. Faces an easier assignment so he can find the winners' list. DRIVING FORCE (3) finished 3.6 lengths away from the winner last time at Warren and gets some weight relief here. Best figures too dangerous to ignore.
