Slick pace with Zero Inn finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. Competitive race to close things out. BALLON D'OR (3) wasn't able to get involved last start in the LR City of Adelaide Stakes, when always well back. Much better placed this time but is drawn ugly. Pannell reuniting helps her case greatly. Watch for her flying home late. JAZZ AFFAIR (15) went on with the job impressively second-up when scoring here a fortnight ago. Bit tougher this time but has plenty of scope for improvement and is expected to make her presence felt. MARACOURT (7) is yet to strike through this time in but is knocking on the door. Drops back in trip off a short freshen but has kept the legs ticking over with a soft Murray Bridge trial between runs. Right in the mix. TEXAN WINDSTORM (2) shoulders terrific formlines this campaign. Is a track and trip specialist that is more than capable of saluting again. Must include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ballon D'or to drop on them late.
