Genuine tempo with Wollemia Angel leading the way. WOLLEMIA ANGEL (10) looks hard to beat if she returns in good order. Placed last six runs of last campaign, a few of which were in much tougher maidens than this. With a jump-out and a trial under the belt should be going close again. YOOMEE WONDER (11) was in the market on debut and after settling at the tail circled wide on the bend and ran on into fourth. Has upside and drawn for a soft run and a big finish again. TERESPRIT (9) is another who will be finishing on. Hit the line hard for fourth in a richer maiden before a break and will be flashing late again here. LENNYSTAR (5) placed fresh then four lengths away in a richer maiden latest. Suited here and can do better. BRUTIFY (2) jumped awkwardly and got further back than expected last time. Has the ability to be in the finish here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Wollemia Angel.
