Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Lady Olenna and Scarlet Monarch. LADY OLENNA (2) well bred filly who came out quickly on debut before tiring late when second over 1000m at this track. Firmer surface and the low draw will see her go close. THE PICCOLINO (9) nine start maiden back in class after running a respectable second over 1150m at Beaumont (Newcastle) in the heavy (8) going. Placed here three runs back and capable of giving this a shake. RODEO DEALER (1) desperate for a firmer surface after struggling when fifth over 1250m at Newcastle. Has a good record over this distance and can play a leading role. SCARLET MONARCH (8) resumed for her second prep when a narrow fifth over 1000m at Tuncurry. Fitter now and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Olenna to win.
