Zouatica, Professor Pickles and Perfect Play will not hold back as they vie for the early lead. CITY OF LIGHTS (1) classy mare destined for better things. Rattled late from well back when a close-up ninth in the G3 Aspiration Quality at Randwick two back. Demolished her rivals over this track and trip at latest four weeks ago. Since fitted with a recent 1207m trial and look for her swooping late. ZOUATICA (2) tough on-pace gelding who had too much up the sleeve when led throughout to score over 1600m at Gosford two weeks ago. This is stronger but looks well in with Jake Barrett's 3kg claim. FAY'S ANGELS (8) handy Taree-trained mare who was strong through the line when third over 2100m at Gosford on April 10. Looks well placed again on the limit weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: City Of Lights to win.
