Grins, Sakimarjuel and Good Prize will all be forward from the jump.. A wide barrier cruelled Gratz Vella-trained GOOD PRIZE (1) at Moruya, and he improved again following when narrowly beaten at Queanbeyan. He peaks today on a quick backup and should be well-acquainted with the Acton track. He's ready to win. GRINS (3) is still new but has shown enough both starts to suggest she has a decent chance with the extra fitness. Went close here on debut on the turf and Bensley rides and is likely to push forward from the awkward gate. SAKIMARJUEL (4) positioned handy but didn't finish it off at Wagga. He was narrowly beaten at the Sapphire Coast prior and that's a better measure of his ability. He has a sticky gate but gets in well with the 2kg claim. Nick Olive-trained ABITSUSS (5) debuted here on the turf and was immediately turned out. Resumes today with Penza engaged and that creates interest. The filly needs some luck in transit but will be naturally improved and goes in at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Good Prize.
