Plenty of pace evident with Diva Rouge and Magnolia Jewel leading the way from Mystic Way and Femella.
NARCISSIST (1) has not raced since finishing a luckless seventh as favourite on debut over this distance at Gosford in October 2023. Two recent trials have been okay. It's been a long break but if he is anywhere near right he can take this out. DIVA ROUGE (3) with the race fitness edge is the danger. Caught on a limb at Scone last time but kept fighting to finish fourth over today's journey. Only needs to hold that form and handle the going to give this a mighty shake. MYSTIC WAY (6) returns from an 18-week spell. Opened last prep with a minor placing in a $50k maiden at Walcha. Certainly good enough, but no placings from five runs on rain affected tracks is a concern. SHE CAN DANCE (8) has been safely held in both runs this prep but can improve with added fitness. MAGNOLIA JEWEL (5) has been contesting better maidens than this. One for the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Punting on Narcissist being forward enough.
