Small field in which Capulet can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. Tricky race where four of these raced each other last time. SHADEELAA (4) was beaten a nose by Southby over slightly further latest and is best off at the weights. Racing well and can turn the tables. SOUTHBY (2) will have to carry more weight than the latest win over main rivals but in saying that has been in great touch, winning two of the last three runs. The run between the wins was in town at Flemington. Expected to feature again. CAPULET (3) was fifth behind that pair and beaten a few lengths. Strips fitter for the three runs back and can do much better. QUITE THE LASS (6) is the one that comes through a different race and could be a wildcard. Goes up a grade but very attractively weighted and looks ready to win after a long drought. Goes very well here with a win and four minors from six tries so with the light weight would expect she is in the finish. AFRICAN PIONEER (1) was perhaps the biggest disappointment from the Southby race but is better than that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shadeelaa can turn the tables.
