Silver Chaos is the likely leader at a slick tempo. A race featuring a few experienced maidens including CHARMING DEXTER (5) who gets a nice opportunity to break through at start eight. He's been solid in two of his three starts this campaign and should get the right run for jockey Todd Pannell from a decent draw. He's no star but he can go close to a win here. MANDARIN (12) defied the market expectation with a placing on debut and, with natural improvement, she can be in the finish of this. TERRITORIAN (7) steps out for the new stable and looks to have trialled well for this. SILVER CHAOS (13) and KISS AND KABOOM (10) are others to include in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Charming Dexter to win.
