Expecting Spiritualistic to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. HURRY MISS (1) returns from a six-month spell. Raced just twice last prep and was in the money in town both times, including a narrow defeat over this trip at Warwick Farm when resuming. Two trials should have her forward enough to give this a mighty shake. SPIRITUALISTIC (4) raced above market expectations on debut last start at Nowra, battling on well for a close second over 1200m. Kept fresh since that run and can be expected to improve coming into this. COMMANDING BELLE (6) did her best work late to get up for third when resuming over 1000m here recently. Sure to be tough to hold out over this more suitable journey. Recent trial placegetter MORE CASH (2) is back from a five-month break for local mentor Mitch Beer. Should be thereabouts. AURA (5) was easily accounted for on a heavy deck first-up at Newcastle but can do better on top of the ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hurry Miss is perfectly placed to break through.
