Pace looks sure to be genuine with Piccola Bellezza and Sweet Talkin Gal matching motors, closely followed by Fracas. I'M QUINN (2) was a well-beaten third on debut in a 5-horse field, but would have taken a lot of improvement from that experience. Craig Grylls replacing an apprentice is a positive change, and from a good draw, he will be among the hardest to beat. SWEET TALKIN GAL (13) was put aside after finishing second by a neck on debut as a juvenile. She cruised home to win a recent Te Rapa trial and will be ready to rumble fresh up. FRACAS (1) has been thereabouts in all of his 5 career starts, and was fourth at Tauranga 11 days ago. He can take a trail from the pole position, and should be right in the fight at the business end of this even contest. YAMATO SATONA (10) won his latest trial very well on this track, which is a big advantage. His stable is in form, so don't risk him. SUGGESTED PLAY: In an even field, Sweet Talkin Gal can be a safe each-way bet.
