Expecting Flawless Ambition to take up the running with Azure De Lago and Zelezny close at hand. TEN CARAT LUCY (4) was well-supported here on debut and didn't let backers down with a strong maiden win over the 1050m. Looks ready for the step-up in trip now and gets the services of Huxtable on board from the inside marble. Plenty to like about her prospects. The well-related ZELEZNY (2) (half to G3 winner Kiss A Rose) was a touch disappointing last time out but the form prior was good enough for a race like this. Can bounce right back. SCRUFFY (3) is one from one over this course and distance and gets some weight off with the 2kg claim. In the mix. HI FRANK (5) has placed two from four here on his home circuit and will strip fitter second-up from the break. Include in calculations. FLAWLESS AMBITION (6) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ten Carat Lucy to go back-to-back to start the career.
