Solid tempo likely from the outset with Frigid, Gregolimo and Lethal Thoughts prominent. FRIGID (6) looks the one to beat again. She was heavily backed to win at Mornington and did so well, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Stays at the mile again but finds a similar race here and looks to get a good run midfield. PAPILLON CLUB (8) is the danger. She worked home well late last start in a Vobis race here over 1400m and looks like she's crying out for a mile now. Her best efforts go a long way to winning this and she can land closer from the inside gate. LETHAL THOUGHTS (9) is racing well and should be in the finish again. No issue with him out to a mile now. FARHH FLUNG (10) was behind Frigid last start but is racing well and in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Frigid to win.
