A race that is devoid of early speed and it is hard to nominate a leader. To put it politely, this race doesn't inspire a lot of confidence to start a Sunday. But one of these horses is going to have their birthday and it could be BLONDI'S BOMBSHELL (7). She joins a new stable and is on the eight day back-up, having beaten a couple of rivals home in a much stronger metropolitan race. This is her first time on the dirt but she's drawn well for a jockey that rides plenty of winners at the track. SEA ROADS (4) pulled up lame after last start but his run prior in a deeper maiden gives him a chance in this. He can run along on the speed with the cliam. Most of the others have modest form but thrill seekers can include THE REAL PRINCE (2) and GRANDE FORZA (1) go in wider plays. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing BLONDI'S BOMBSHELL (7) to win.
