There should be a bit of pressure with I Am Carrot and Swiss Exile pressing forward in advance of Daggers and Pasima. SUNSET DREAMING (14) got a mile out of her ground in the Silk Stocking over this trip at the Gold Coast three weeks ago and was never a factor. Races well here and her third-up record reads well. Draws a far better gate and deserves another chance. PASIMA (9) overcame a slow start to get up for second when resuming over this distance at the Gold Coast recently. Yet to miss the frame in four second-up runs. Genuine contender. BENGAL DIAMOND (16) impressed in the Silk Stocking last start. Far better served at the barrier draw this time. DAGGERS (17) had their measure with a bit in hand last time and is an obvious danger. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tough way to open the card - Sunset Dreaming each-way.
