Bosco to take charge ahead of Conversations at a good tempo. GRACEFUL ELLEN (6) brings strong form to resumption, and she was backed off the map at the Sapphire Coast when last seen. She's trialled sharply there and is sure to have come on. Has a 2kg claim and sets a decent standard. KOBOLD (7) brings three solid efforts to peak, and the longer sprint is sure to suit. She can make the finish. BOSCO (1) led as favourite at Wagga on debut, beaten 2L. Has the outside barrier today, but won't have to improve much to feature. WEDDAMEENOOTZ (4) debuts, and Heywood's engagement suggests he will do better than the trial finish suggests. The local draws inside and has to be kept safe. CONVERSATIONS (2) tries hard, and the 2kg claim is handy. He will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Graceful Ellen.
