Several of these have terrific gate speed so the pressure will be on from the outset. An 1100m dash to finish and THE BOSS LADY (7) is the one who appeals most. She's building an impressive record and her first-up win was enormous from last in the run. Looks to have above average ability and she gets Damian Lane in the saddle to bring the best out of her. She can win again. THOMAS MAGNUM (2) was too good over 1000m last time out when running on from midfield. CJP hops back in the saddle this time as he drops back in grade. Sure to threaten again with the aid of an inside alley. SNOW PRINCE (1) is looking for the hat-trick after a 0.2L victory most recently. Back to 1100m doesn't seem an issue and Dhurun takes 1.5kg off. Can sit midfield and pounce late in the race. POT SHOT (6) gets Pike in the saddle first-up which always creates intrigue. Nicely placed and her best form is good enough to feature. RUPERT'S EMPIRE (3) has won his past two in good style and warrants plenty of respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on The Boss Lady to round out the day.
