Strong tempo with Writego and Cobra Club leading the way over Miss Jones. MISS JONES (6) has race experience and fitness over most of these fifth up. Comes out of a strong contest after stalking the speed when second over 1200m at this track. Expected to stalk the pace again with Nock's claim and figure prominently. SPICE PRAWN (13) progressive filly who returned with an excellent fast finishing second over 1200m at Rosehill. Struck plenty of trouble at latest and shouldn't be a maiden for long. COBRA CLUB (1) Narrowly beaten by Within The Law on debut and returns from a four-and-a-half-month spell. Expected to have strengthened over the break and maps to get the right run. Fitted with the two trials and leading rider booked. BURMA STAR (5) nice colt resuming after catching the eye in his three first prep runs. Has impressed in his two recent trials and expected to get through the going. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Jones finds her race.
