Solid tempo set by Lady Wardell and Hermanita. Former Victorian FLOOZIE (4) looked good saluting over this course and distance when having the first run for the Gollan camp and winning hoop Jones retains the ride. Will have come on even further with that run now under the belt and can go back-to-back to start the campaign. FEARLESS THINKING (12) strips fitter second-up from the spell and can feature in the finish if she brings her A-game. The well-related FIELD OF MYRTLE (6) (half to 2xG3 winner and G2 placed Holyfield) has placed one from one over this course and distance and looks one for the multiples. HERMANITA (3) is yet to miss a drum in seven attempts over this distance range and it's hard to knock mares in form. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Floozie to win again.
