Flame Of Hestia and Runranirun possess good early speed. RUNRANIRUN (3) returns from a six-month break after demolishing her rivals by 8 lengths on debut over this track and trip last August. Primed for this with two good trials and gets the lugging bit added. Hard to hold out. CAPITAL DANCER (4) rewarded for her consistency when getting off the mark at start six over this track and trip when scoring over 900m at this track last time out. Maps well and is capable of winning again. FLAME OF HESTIA (5) returns from a lengthy break. Ploughed through the heavy going at his second run when scoring as fav over 1000m at Taree last October. Fitted with two trials and can continue where she left off. MAJESTUOSO PHOENIX (2) resumes. Faded late at his second career run when fifth over 1000m at Kembla Grange on December 12. Has the two trials under the belt and must be kept safe from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Runranirun to go close.
