Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. Tricky. SERIAL OFFENDER (9) was just beaten here second-up and it was a strong effort from back in the field. She draws handier today and can position forward. Has more to give and is ready to win. SPIRIT IN THE DARK (10) resumes for the premier local barn and has raced well in stronger. Draws awkwardly but is well placed with the 2kg claim and she should be ready to go. DRESSED IN GRAY (1) resumes and has trialled impressively at Randwick. She missed at Hawkesbury three back fresh and that effort would see her fighting out the finish. Collett is a positive jockey booking. HOU LONG GWAI (3) debuts for a leading Sydney barn and has trialled x2 at Rosehill. The betting will be key with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Serial Offender with the race form/fitness.
