Solid tempo anticipated with Our Huntress leading the way. Many of these are knocking on the door, but it is OUR HUNTRESS (2) that looks most likely to break through. Led from barrier rise and dug deep when pressured but was narrowly denied last start over 1250m at Canterbury. McDonald hops aboard ahead of three Waller runners which is a strong lead. ERIN JO (5) impressed on debut but was less effective last time over this distance at Randwick when she got too far out of her ground from a wide gate. Should race a lot closer today and is capable of turning things around. Waller's best chance is MISS LOLA (3) who just went under in a thriller over 1250m at Canterbury last start. Placed at all three runs here and should give a good account again. CURADO (1) is going well at the provincials and looks good enough to transition to town. HERMIONE PRANCER (6) was okay first-up and strips fitter for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Huntress a nice bet to open the day.
