COLOURS OF AUTUMN (4) underrated mare who drops in grade third up. Never on the track and kept coming through the line when sixth over 1350m in the Provincial Mid Champs at Wyong. Goes well at this course and capable of taking this out. EMPRESS OF JAPAN (6) launched late down the centre of the track when a barnstorming winner over 1400m at Goulburn in similar grade. Latham sticks and expected to go close again. OAKFIELD PRINCE (2) tough gelding holding his form well. Big jump in grade when sat on the fast tempo for a plugging third over 1700m in the Wellington Cup. No shock to see him take this out. HELLFIRE EXPRESS (1) anchored with the 60kg on resumption when a disappointing fifth over 1300m at Hawkesbury on March 18. Kept up to the mark with a 1200m trial win and expecting a better showing with the 3kg claim.
