Shall Be is the likely leader at a slick tempo. BANGKOK HOTTIE (10) exciting Too Darn Hot filly who closed strongly in the G3 Kindergarten on debut, then went on to win her next two starts in dominant style. Back without a trial and has the class to overcome a wide gate and progress quickly this prep.TWINKLING STAR (11) returned from a lengthy spell with a slashing win from back in the field over 1100m at Hawkesbury with the 58kg. Held in high regard by the stable and looks set for a big campaign. MELANITE (9) closed strongly in his two runs back with the big weights and ready for the 1100m. Savaged the line when third over 1000m at Gosford on a heavy (9) track. Maps well and not to be underestimated. COSY CORNER (7) drops in trip for this after she failed to run the 1400m out when fifth at Newcastle. Drops 6kg in weight today and can make amends at the good odds. CENTURY SONG (3) mixing his form and comes here in peak condition. Place best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,11,9,7.
