Race preview
FEDERAL PLAYER (2) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at The Gardens, scoring by 4.5 lengths (22.67). Ideally placed to score again. BADGER'S BEAST (7) is yet to be beaten at the course and distance, scoring 12 wins from as many starts. Scored by one length last time (17.48) in a NG over 324m at Richmond Straight. Can feature with the right run. FREIGHT EXPRESS (4) is better than last start when seventh (30.25) from Box 7 at Wentworth Park over 520m. Deserves plenty of respect. BOLD CHARM (1) was prominent throughout when successful last start. That form reads well.
