Fun Sponge should lead at a strong tempo. DEFERENTIAL (10) won the Maiden easily first-up and has followed with two narrow defeats at Eagle Farm. Tumbles in weight and has been freshened. Shapes as the one to beat. SPILL THE TEARS (4) found the grade too tough at Doomben and go on the easy first-up win here in this grade. Has won 2/2 third-up and the 1.5kg claimer will use the low barrier. MILL ROSSA (1) peaks for the Currie yard and was close-up here this grade last time. He will likely push forward and the 3kg claim brings him into it. MENARI MAGIC (6) was outgraded at Eagle Farm but the form prior stacks up. A chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Deferential.
