Solid pace with Surprise Honey finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. Open race to close out the card. COSMO CENTAURUS (10) returned in fine fashion with a dominant Doomben victory and winning rider Moor stays in the stirrups. Will have derived some confidence from that first-up effort and should be going very close again. The well-related SURPRISE HONEY (15) (full to G3 winner Bel Merci) has hit a purple patch this campaign with two wins and three placings from five outings. Hard to knock mares in form and is sure to be right there when the judge calls a halt. SER JOH (5) has a solid record over this course and distance with two wins and a placing from five attempts. Can run a race second-up. BEWS (3) can progress off a fresh placing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmo Centaurus to go back-to-back.
