Moderate tempo with Ace's In Bloom leading the way. The penny has dropped for MISHANI EMPIRE (6) who has won two of her past three and it's hard to knock mares in form. Winning hoop Kendal sticks in the saddle and again gets the benefit of her 1.5kg claim. Rates the testing material against this line-up. ACE'S IN BLOOM (5) has been thereabouts at the past couple and will be rock-hard fit for this. Looms as the main danger. RED COBRA (4) is a bit hit or miss but is more than capable enough on his day. Top-three prospects if he brings his A-game. BOKUDEN (2) has placed two of three around this circuit and gets 3kg weight relief. In the mix. GLENRAY'S MATE (7) strips fitter second-up and may earn a cheque. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Mishani Empire.
