Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Welly, Moonlight Kicks and Sonechka to control the tempo.
Former Victorian SONECHKA (9) has just missed the placings in both runs since joining the new stable and strikes a very winnable contest here. Should be ready to peak now third-up from the spell and Lerena sticks following that last-start effort. Rates the testing material. BLOOD RED (4) is back from a spell but the form he showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this nature. Looms as the main danger while fresh. WELLY (5) put in a career-best performance last time out and will be rock-hard fit for this. Top-three conveyance. SERENE ECHO (7) is facing the starter for the first time but won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Monitor market moves. SILVIO DANTE (1) best of the rest in a race with a long tail. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sonechka to break through.
