Expecting Spirited King to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. WRITTEN BY LUCY (3) good fresh mare who charged late from the wide gate with a narrow second over 1000m at Canberra. Fitter now from the good draw and will take catching second-up. BABY DAISY (6) deep into the prep and will find this more to her liking with the 55kg. Savaged the line with the 58.5kg when fourth over 1000m at Canberra. Can get the job done in this company. CURLY BEND (5) resumes with a host of gear changes. Back without a trial and now in the Anthony Warren yard. Can measure up for the new barn. AIRLINER (4) resumes. Finished in the minor money on two occasions last time in. Fitted with the one trial and gets map favours with the tongue-tie going on. PLATINUM RIDGE (1) back from a lengthy break with a handy fresh record. Gets leading rider from the good draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Written By Lucky should prove too strong for these second-up.
