Blue Ismay has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. PERFECT NIGHT (12) has her third race start and can show more today for a leading yard. Comes out of a strong form race on the Hillside and will be suited over the longer journey. Tackling a more suitable race and maps to get every chance. BLUE ISMAY (2) resumes and showed enough his initial preparation to say this is winnable. He won a recent Cranbourne jumpout with Jamie Melham aboard and she rides today. Kicking off at the mile won't be an issue and a bold run is anticipated. TESTY NIC (6) was slow off and covered plenty of ground beaten 2.8L at Donald on debut. There was plenty to like about that and the step-up in trip is a positive. MAHERS LANDING (9) debuted in the Perfect Night race and didn't have the best of it. Draws wide but is in a smart stable and shapes as an improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Perfect Night.
