Genuine tempo with the speedy Ready Lightly leading the way. ZOUSAIN GIRL (7) is unlucky to still be a maiden hitting the frame at the past couple of outings and strikes a very winnable contest here. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should be right there at the business end. READY LIGHTLY (1) is another on the doorstep of a maiden victory placing at his past three starts including a third over this track and trip last time out. Gets some weight relief with the 3kg claim and looms as the main danger. BE BOB ALOOLA (3) put in a career-best performance placing here at the latest effort and looks a genuine top-three prospect based on that effort. MAHTIKKAINSTINCT (4) has placed around this circuit and may earn some minor money. CIRQUE DE LA VIE (6) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zousain Girl to break the maiden status.
