Not much early speed on paper and Cherry Jubilee is the most likely leader. POLYMER (1) first run for the Paul Snowden stable he sat off the speed before launching late with an unlucky second over 1000m at Port Macquarie first-up. Has a sticky gate to contend with here but should prove too good for these. LYKOS (5) finished runner-up at her last two outings on rain affected tracks and gets every chance from the inside draw. Among the top-three hopes. PURPLE PRINCE (9) never looked comfortable in the heavy (8) going with the 59kg when a battling last over this course and distance. Regular apprentice goes back aboard and drops 4kg in weight here. Each way. CHERRY JUBILEE (4) deep into the prep and will take control early with the winkers going on. Gripped on late when third over 1250m at Coffs Harbour in a Super Maiden. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Polymer can get off the mark.
