Vision To Achieve, Hot Pearl and Micke's Bomb to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. WAR EMPRESS (5) has won twice and finished second once from six starts over this course and distance. She is likely to be settled near the rear of the field and will be storming home late. VISION TO ACHIEVE (1) showed good speed over this distance at Scottsville last time, but found one too good on the day. She meets a similar field here and may be hard to peg back. HOT PEARL (3) ran a decent race in her last start over 1200m on this course when finishing fourth of seven. Both her career victories have come over this distance. She is having her peak run today and has solid each-way claims. PELARGONIUM (7) did little when finishing fifth of nine over 1200m at Scottsville last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth at Scottsville the run before. Suitably placed here so anticipating a big run this time.
