Cheating Lilibet is expected to lead at a strong tempo. FRATIANNO (3) professional place getter who finds his race at start eighteen. Resumed from a lengthy break with a tough on-pace second over 1006m at Port Macquarie. Gets a better set-up for this and expected to go close. SIZZLING SUZIE (8) resumes for her second prep. Showed ability on debut when she closed well to run third over 1000m at Port Macquarie last October. Primed with the two trials and can overcome the sticky gate. SUVATHI (9) resumes after making her debut back on November 7, 2024. Snagged back from the outside draw and failed to make an impression when ninth over 1400m at Hawkesbury. Fitted with the one 1000m trial and gets map favours. Genuine contender. MINERS MATE (12) settled off the speed and failed to come on second up with a disappointing fourth over 1100m at Bathurst. Fitter now and place preferred. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fratianno can finally get off the mark.
