Heat #4 of the Derby: and feeling a tad treasonous, by siding with the sole VIC visitor in the line-up. But Box allocations have forced that. MEPUNGA SMOKEY (7) boasts a nice 11 from 27 aggregate - and has whizzed around Sandown in 29.29. Recently SA Grp 1 placed. EYES TO EYES (3) is airborne. But tricky draw. ZIPPING BENTLEY (5) a real KO chance.

Comment:Where's there's Smoke! They turn up the Heat on this Freshman now: tackling a Derby Heat, with just 4 runs under the belt. Sole win: a hot WP 29.95, on debut.

Comment:Duh! Down on the Rail suits this Express: his 29.95 WP gap job (4 back) was off this alley. But average here 2 back, in a meek Dubbo Qualifying Final. Exotics.

Comment:Cross Eyed! NSW's most improved chaser: barely missed a beat in last 11. Won 6 (4 here) and 5 minors. Top Gossy Cup 2nd, last time. But sticky draw, inside #4.
