All eyes will be on Godolphin galloper Equipage at Kembla Grange on Thursday, with the gelding set to break through for a victory in a three-year-old maiden plate over 1400 metres.<\/p>\n

Punters quickly snapped up the early price offered about the improving filly, and she has been heavily backed into outright favouritism.<\/p>\n

The three-year-old profiles well for this event with a positive race setup and is ready to peak third-up.<\/p>\n

She had too much to do last start at Newcastle 23 days ago after being restrained from a wide draw and getting too far back.<\/p>\n

To her credit, she had to make a long, sustained sprint, making up significant ground and clocking some of the meeting\u2019s fastest closing splits.<\/p>\n

Further, that race rated exceptionally well relative to the day, and the margins throughout confirmed the quality of the race.<\/p>\n

The James Cummings-trained galloper can improve significantly here, and with the critical barrier change, she can settle much closer to the front.<\/p>\n

In addition, Tommy Berry rides for the first time. Expect her to be hard to hold out with even luck.<\/p>\n

Keeping Equipage on his toes is the Chris Waller-trained Tellez, who enters the race with a starting price edge.<\/p>\n

The three-year-old had every chance first-up, and he loomed to win but just peaked on his run, indicating he\u2019ll strip fitter from that outing.<\/p>\n

The duo are set for an exciting battle and expect the form from this race to hold up in the future.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, four-year-old mare Dear Jewel will look to bounce back after having multiple excuses in her first-up run at Canterbury.<\/p>\n

The Hawkes-trained galloper lines up in a benchmark 64 handicap and drops in grade.<\/p>\n

She had to exert too much energy when resuming in the middle sections of a race and then had her momentum completely haltered over the concluding stages.<\/p>\n

Expect her to improve sharply back on dry ground where she produces all her peak figures and maps to have all favours from the inside draw.<\/p>\n

Main danger, Vomo Island, went to a new level as a gelding first-up and can make it back-to-back wins, stepping out to 1400m.<\/p>\n
