Stylish Rosie, Bold Santos and Dark Fae can set a strong tempo. PRINCE PIER (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up at his past couple of outings at this circuit and strikes a very winnable contest here. Kennedy sticks in the irons following that last-start effort and should be right there when the whips are cracking. Former NSW galloper DARK FAE (5) just missed the frame when having the first run for the new stable and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Looms as the main danger. STREAMELOT (9) has hit the top-four in four of her past five starts and looks to be on the doorstep of a maiden victory. Top-three candidate. OVERLAND (2) strips fitter third-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. BOLD SANTOS (3) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Pier to go one better.
