Abundant early pace from Global Pivot, Nyota and Aimpoint ahead of Diamond Drummer. Group 3 placegetter PIONEER LASS (1) is holding her form well and will relish the drop in grade after sitting on the speed when a fading seventh over 1600m in the G3 Matron Stakes at Flemington on March 9. Extra trip suits with a quieter ride. Watch for her late. JESSANDI (10) big improver second-up when launched late to go under in a tight finish behind Reet Petite over 1600m at Canberra on March 10. Desperate for this trip now and has the upside to figure prominently from the good gate. ZARROSE (8) returns from a 29-day let-up after finishing sixth behind the promising Mare Of Mt Buller over 1500m at Rosehill on February 28. Should get the trip. NYOTA (7) all three wins have come at this track and has excellent third-up stats. Had to work hard from the wide gate and the early effort took its toll when 11th over 1500m here on March 19. Can sit on the speed today and take catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,10,8,7.
