Plenty of pace with Rich Minx, The Gambling Greek and Sonny Daze all pushing forward from their low draws. MAKE IT SO (17) is a very honest campaigner who has yet to miss the top-five in nine career outings and has won three of her past four starts. Chasing a hat-trick here and mares in form should not be ignored. Will give a great sight at odds. THE GAMBLING GREEK (10) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and gets in light with the 3kg claim. Looms as the main danger. POSEIDON RULER (9) resumes here but has revved up for this with a recent trial and a strong showing while fresh would not shock. BATTLE OF VIENNA (7) will be high on confidence following that last-start victory and strips fitter third-up from the spell. Top-three candidate. REMLAPS ANGEL (12) next in line in a cracking contest to close out the card. SUGGESTED PLAY: Make It So each-way.
