Moderate tempo expected with Crying Cougar likely to find the front over Danube and Spirit Of Gaia. SPIRIT OF GAIA (4) profiles well for this contest, with four runs under her belt; she can atone for a recent third-placed effort at this track and distance. Her career best figures have come over this distance, so she'll be hard to beat. DANUBE (8) presents for the new stable first up from a long spell. Her debut rating was solid behind some talented gallopers, and she has trialled stylishly leading into this campaign. She can make her presence felt. CRYING COUGAR (1) rated well on debut over 900m and then regressed second up. He has trialled behind a subsequent winner and will run well. YATCHAW (6) has trialled well and can break through. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing SPIRIT OF GAIA.
