Expecting Simone's Choice to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. STORMY REIGN (6) is ready to win after she just missed last time, beaten a neck into second at the Sapphire Coast. Peaking now and can finally get off the mark. GRAYNITA (4) returns from a spell and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Mornington over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Has transferred to a smart stable and gets the key booking of Boudvillain. Can make a bright start. SIMONE'S CHOICE (5) showed good early toe when resuming at Gundagai but was claimed late. Is sure to have come on from that and is drawn to advantage. Will take some running down. FIRE CHAT (2) worked home well to grab third at big odds at the latest. Good signs last time and worth following up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stormy Reign to win.
