Off the inside draw Convaaya should boot up and lead at a solid tempo. CONVAAYA (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3 lengths away in third over 2200m at Hamilton when he was in the firing line all the way. This won't take any more winning and he should get a nice run. JUST SWIFT (10) is yet to break through in 12 runs. Finished fourth at her last appearance over 1500m at this track on August 11. Up in trip should suit this mare by Justify and she'll take holding out. SMART MOVES (4) showed good early speed before fighting on to finish second, beaten under a length over 2100m at this track. Can go one better. ONLY OPERA (11) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth at her most recent outing over 1600m at Bendigo after she was well back on straightening. Lightly raced and up in trip suits, respecting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Convaaya to win.
