Dreamdeel and Joe Mama have good gate speed and should be able to cross and vie for early honours. SACRED FEELING (12) is a very consistent conveyance who is yet to put in a poor performance. Has a win and a placing from two attempts over the course and distance and gets the services of Orman in the irons. Looks the runner with the most upside and is hard to go past. CONNECTICUT (5) looked good winning over this track and trip at the latest effort and will have derived confidence from that victory. Nicely placed to play a leading role. THIS'LLBETHEONE (1) has been right there in recent outings and the step-up in trip suits. In the mix. KERCHAK (3) handy gelding who is racing well, including a win last start over 1540m at Gold Coast Poly. Nicely placed to play a leading role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sacred Feeling to win.
