Expecting Carry My Money to lead at just a moderate tempo. SHUKKAS (8) has had plenty of goes now but is right in this on her best form. Resumes without a trial but she has been placed first-up in the past. Maps for a nice run and is sure to be prominent in the finish. SELF WORTH (7) disappointed at the end of last campaign but was in good touch prior to that. The draw is a little sticky, but the form out of her last start has stood up well and she's sure to make her presence felt. GROOVY DAY (4) comes into her debut today on the back of just a fair trial at Beaudesert. This doesn't look an overly strong race though and it wouldn't be surprised to see her in the finish on debut. CLUSTER'S GENERAL (2) trialled well before a disappointing debut effort, but the form out of that race stacked up well. No trials coming into this but can be about the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shukkas gets the nod.
