AU - Gosford - Race 1

AUTAFINNA (1) is having just his third race start today and looks to be heading in the right direction. Bounced off his narrow debut second over 1m, with a fast-finishing second over 1 ¼m at Taree on the heavy track. Key jockey change and gets his chance from the draw. RESCHS MILK (7) turned in a decent effort at her third career start when she gripped on to finish third over 1 ?m at Newcastle. Will appreciate the firmer surface and has solid top-three claims. CHUCKLER (2) is deep into the campaign and worth another chance in this easier contest. Taken back from the awkward gate in the small field with a battling sixth over 1 ½m at Randwick Kensington in BM72 class. Worth another chance on the backup. ROYAL PRINCESS (8) is improving with racing and the blinkers go on for this. Jumped in trip with a sound fourth over 1 5/16m at Gunnedah in C1 grade. Claim helps and she stays in the calculations.
