Sweet Smile to take charge ahead of Babushka's Pride at a strong tempo. ENCAMPMENT (5) came through a hot maiden at Orange first-up before chasing gamely into the placings last time at the Sapphire Coast. Peaking now and gets his best chance yet to break through. OUBAITORI (2) is close to a win following two narrow defeats. At her top now and finds a nice assignment. This might be her day. BABUSHKA'S PRIDE (8) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish fifth over this trip at Wagga. Strips fitter third-up in what looks a nice race for her. BROKEN IMAGE (9) only warmed late after getting a long way back at Wagga last start. Strips fitter but will likely get back again from the draw. Watch for her running on if the pace is genuine. WHOOPI DO (4) improved second-up when closing off soundly into the placings. Fitter and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Encampment to win.
