Plenty of pace evident with Parisienne Piper and Power Reece leading the way from Elrond and La Gracia. ELROND (1) only went down by a narrow margin last time out and looks to be working up to a maiden victory. Bellamy stays on board following that last-start runner-up finish and again gets the benefit of her 3kg claim. Rates the testing material. LA GRACIA (3) has hit the top-five in seven of her past eight starts and will be at peak fitness now at the fourth run back. Looms as the main danger. PARISIENNE PIPER (2) has hit the frame at her past three outings and is another to get some weight relief. Top-three credentials again. The well-related POWER REECE (4) (half to 3xListed winner Snitzkraft) just missed the placings at the latest effort and looks to be improving with racing. Respect from the Gollan camp. SHIP HAPPENS (5) next in line in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,3,2,4.
