In Circles to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. LATEST FLAME (11) kept safe in betting on debut when a respectable on-speed third over 1100m at Hawkesbury in a fast run contest. Schofield sticks from the low gate and another big run is anticipated. PRIVATE LIAISON (12) did a fair job on debut after being held up slightly in the straight when fifth over 1200m at Canterbury. Has further upside with the drop in weight from the inside gate. Top three contender. IN CIRCLES (3) first up for her second prep she held her ground to the line when third over 1100m at Gosford in the small field. Has the speed to get over from the sticky gate. Each way. ZOUSARI (6) comes here with a fitness edge third up and will be attacking the line strongly. Big improver last start when he closed from last on the turn to run third over 1250m at Newcastle. Worthy contender. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Latest Flame and Private Liaison will take holding out.
