Wheeling is the likely leader at a strong tempo. SISTINE (5) ran her best race narrowly beaten here in a 64. Races forward and Newitt rides first time replacing the apprentice. Finds easier and she just has to hold that form to take beating. CHEROKEE DANCER (7) also positions forward and is busting to win. Comes back in grade off a 1L defeat and worth including. GREY WHISPER (8) is another honest galloper who's been threatening. Was narrowly beaten in a 64 last time and that stacks up. THUNBERG (1) is proving hard to catch but will run along from an inside gate and the 3kg claim brings her right into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sistine.
