Meanwhile, the Pepper stable can pull off a daring smash-and-grab raid at big odds in the feature Cup over 1425m, and grab a berth in the $3 million Big Dance at Randwick later in the year in the process.
Super Extreme, an underrated seven-year-old with five wins from 29 starts, opened well into double-figure odds, but reloads off a strong closing run in the Narooma Cup at this track a fortnight ago. Winning that race narrowly was the likely favourite here, the Kembla-based Dumebi, which opened about $4.40, but is likely to jump shorter.
Canberra gallopers provide virtually half the field on a day when up to half of the winning prize pool on the eight-race program could be headed back over the mountains and into the ACT.
