Fast pace assured with Kwinta's Light, Morgan La Fay and Baltic Secret leading the charge. ASIYE PHAMBILI (8) resumes from a short spell which would have done her the world of good. She has won once and finished second three times from as many starts over this distance. She is ideally suited to this course and on best form shown, she should be the one to beat. KWINTA'S LIGHT (2) has won three times, finished second four times and third twice from eleven starts over this distance. On her previous form, she should go close to winning. RIPPLE EFFECT (9) made some progress last start to finish sixth over 1000m at Greyville. Tackles a longer journey this time around and is well worth consideration. SECRET IDENTITY (5) resumes after missing a place in a Group 1 at the end of last prep. Comes here with definite each-way claims.
