Reasonable tempo with Sister Paula probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. AMARA VALENCIA (1) has placed in both starts to date, beaten a head at $61 on debut at Mornington before a neck defeat at Echuca. Will go close. DOUBLE MARKET (10) is a filly by Castelvecchio on debut for the Hayes yard who has jumped out well enough to be a factor. I ONLY WISH (11) ran well fresh at Benalla and should only improve off that. LADY SADLER (12) resumes having run well in a handy race on debut. Can figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Amara Valencia on top.
