Krementz should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. EAGLE EXPRESS (10) has placed in both runs back from a spell and finds a winnable affair here. She found the line strongly at Sandown Hillside last time out in Saturday company, only beaten 1.1 lengths by the smart Terilee. That's the right form. SILVER CLIFF (6) dropped back to this class last time out and looked good winning easily with the 51kg. She's racing in career-best form and has to be respected with another 3kg claimer on board. TEN DEEP (5) has been scratched numerous times from similar races but draws barrier one here, which may entice connections to run. She's sparingly raced but boasts strong form lines including a second placing to Splash Back in October. Very wary. VIENNA VIXEN (3) isn't the most reliable conveyance but has been good her past two and her best is certainly good enough. SIRIUS STATEMENT (1) is off a let-up and back in trip but has the ability. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eagle Express to win.
