The Marg Factor should spear straight to the front of the small field. Very tough race. Not many of these do a lot of winning. MATRIARCH ROSE (2) is going okay and in tougher races, working home well in a bunched finish at Flemington last time out. She's certainly good enough to take this out. BRAVE MISS (5) was behind Matriarch Rose there but only narrowly and does at least have a bit of upside with 10 starts to her name. Gets a senior jockey on from a soft gate to help her cause as well. IGOTCHA (1) hasn't fired in three runs this time in but would take beating on her best form. Can improve. RICK'S CAFE (4) resumes. This is a good trip for her if she's fit enough although she is getting on and hasn't won in a fair while. ATAEGINA (7) could be an improver on slightly firmer going. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Matriarch Rose & Brave Miss.
