From wide out Wal's Angels can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. STORMY WITNESS (9) talented mare who will relish this easier contest after holding her ground to the line when 4.5 lens behind Olentia over 1500m in the G2 Emancipation Stakes at Rosehill on March 30. Racing at her top and look for her powering late from the sticky gate. BELVEDERE BOYS (3) promising Maurice gelding from the strong Matt Dunn yard. Reunites with Nash Rawiller after getting out late when third over this trip at Scone on March 22. Should get the right tempo to stake his claim late. SHIPSHAPE (2) underrated gelding with two wins over the 1400m. Rocked late over an unsuitable trip when third over 1100m at Wellington on April 14. Expected to figure prominently. MONTE OUTLANDER (10) raced well in this grade last time in and strips fitter after having no luck first-up when charged late to finish sixth over 1200m at Doomben on April 3. Will race closer and looks good each-way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,3,2,10.
