Comments: Gosford 5-1 Looking For Lang was backed from 2/1 into 9/10 before caning a Maiden field at his first start over 900m at Newcastle. It's hard to judge the quality of that performance but he ran an OK time so he must be a big chance to make it two from two. Gosford 7-5 Linear has run well enough in better races to be a strong chance here though if she's below about $3.20 then that's too short for me. Gosford 9-8 Now Now ran a couple of good races from wide gates in stronger city company before a good 2nd last time, again from a wide gate, when backed 7/1 into 4/1. She must be a top chance depending upon how good Gai Waterhouse's first starter, Perfectly Poised, is. Townsville 2-5 Three 'n' Sixpence has run a couple of OK 3rds in his two runs in the area since moving from northern NSW. He has a senior jockey on board today and that might be enough to get him home. Townsville 3-4 Rapt In Silver is in a pretty open race but must be a chance after his first up 4th. The weight drop will help him and he might be the best of the POOMAs.
