Moderate tempo headed by Abraham.
ABRAHAM (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up in two runs before the spell and strikes a very winnable contest here. Revved up for this with two recent trials and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. BETTER NOT SLIP (10) was well supported here on debut but just ran into one better on that occasion. Will be better for that hit-out and where there's smoke there's fire. Looms as the main danger. TAM NA GHAR (5) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown ability at the trials and gets the services of gun hoop Maloney in the irons. Keep very safe. PARISIENNE PIPER (16) resumes here but the form she showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this nature. Include with the 3kg claim. BUTWEDID (7) best of the rest from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,10,5,16.
