Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. More like a provincial maiden. JUSTICE PLEASE (8) impressed first-up over 1250m at Newcastle, settling in the second half of the field then unwinding late to get up for fourth. Ideally placed out to this trip in a small field so she is sure to prove tough to hold out. IKUMA (7) has been just out of the placings in her two runs to date, both over 1250m. Might race a little closer today over the longer trip. Well related filly who gets the right conditions to show her best. DORADUS (1) is back from a six-month spell. Has been gelded since last prep, which he opened with a solid third over 1300m at this track. Trialling well and looks ready to go to a new level this time in work. IMPERIAL STATE (4) found 1200m a bit sharp last time at Kembla but he did rally late to grab third. This is a far more appealing assignment. ICEMAN (6) is very fit and capable of a top three finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Justice Please on top, with a market watch on Doradus first-up.
