Expecting Sunday Bell to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. FULD'S DOUBT (3) returns from a lengthy break with an okay fresh record. Failed to stretch out in the heavy going when a dismal fourteenth over 1200m at Randwick in Highway grade last June. Looked forward in a recent trial and gets in light with the 3kg claim. VANDELIGHT (8) sat on the fast tempo in the heavy conditions when a narrow third over 900m first-up. That form looks good enough in this contest. PRIDE TO FOLLOW (5) drops in class today after resuming with a fading eighth over 1000m at the Gold Coast. Go on her earlier wins when assessing her chances. Best form is good enough to take this out. EXECUTIVE DECISION (7) knocked up late on resumption after sitting on the solid tempo when seventh over 1250m at Taree. Lone win came over this trip and gets his chance from the gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,8,5,7.
