Good early pace from Pretty Little Liar and Peaceful Prince going forward to hold out some other speedy customers. PEACEFUL PRINCE (21) had 3 starts in Sydney for some handy results, including a second on debut at Kembla Grange. He has since changed stables and was runner-up in a recent trial. If the money is there, he will be hard to beat. MISS MOOV (6) is a stablemate of the top pick and finished a solid second on debut here on the poly track just over 3 weeks ago. Her trial form was good before that and with an extra furlong to travel this time, She can go one better. ANTILLES (15) did not help herself by making a slow start last time out and was sent back to the trials where she scored by a neck. She has a motor and if she can bring her trial form to the races, she will be right in the finish. DARE I SAY (12) is building her form and was a solid third at long odds last time out on this track. She has a better draw this time and is capable of taking this out. PRINCE OF PROPHETS (7) was a beaten favourite here last start in a heavy track. He is worth another chance. Follow your money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Moov each-way.
