Just a moderate pace anticipated. PEAR BELLINI (7) jumps in trip on the quick backup after finishing a close-up fifth over 1250m at Taree. Gets the gun run with the key jockey change. Hard to hold out. ARGERICH (4) failed to figure on the quick backup with a plugging sixth over 1400m at Taree. Assess on her good fourth two starts back. No shock to see her return to form. PATHELIA (6) returned over the unsuitable trip with a struggling fifth over 1300m at Armidale. Fitter this time and can take a hand in the finish. FINDING ELLE (5) gets a better set-up for this and assess on earlier efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pear Bellini can shed her Maiden status.
