The race pace looks modest at best in this two-turn Maiden event over 2100m. I AM BLUE (13) drawn the inside gate. Five times placed and handles it dry and wet. Logical winner. SONGWRITER (2) is improving with racing. Can handle it dry and wet. Wide gate. Must include. LUCKY BAY (10) has been placed in half his starts. Senior rider on. Drawn to be included. GREY INVADOR (11) was an easy trial winner before last start. Wet ground suits. YUNGBLUD (4) course proven and it came fresh up. Wide gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Am Blue and Songwriter are win wagers.
