|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong early tempo assured with Osamu and Frilled locking horns. BEZIQUE (15) is a progressive mare who last appeared when she finished down the track on Millions Day in January. Opened last prep with three straight wins including a dominant display to kick things off over 1050m at Doomben. Sure to be there at the finish. SHALAA'S MOMENT (12) added to her imposing record when she came from last with a barnstorming run to score with a bit in hand over this course and distance three weeks ago. Will need a similar effort here from the wide alley but she keeps improving and is up to the task. VODKA MARTINI (5) returns from an eight-month spell. Won three on the trot to close the last prep, including a soft win in a Bm78 here at this distance. Trialling well and he has the talent to test this field. The speedy OSAMU (2) comes back a little in class today and should be prominent for a long way. Sydney mare FRILLED (7) is back from a nine-week spell. Nosed out first-up last prep by Brudenell who was competitive in an Oakleigh Plate at his next run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bezique each-way in a quality sprint.
