A race that lacks early pressure on paper. SMART SHAZZA (6) was a dominant winner at the Sunny Coast last time out and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that two-length victory. Winning hoop Maloney sticks and should be going very close again. GELATIN (1) hails from a handy family (half to G3 winner Felines) and gets the reliable Gollan/Jones combination. Has been knocking on the door of late and rates a genuine top-three contender against this line-up. GAMBINO (2) has a win and a placing from three attempts over this distance range and should be able to sit up on speed from the low draw. In the mix. CHAMPAGNE ROUGE (9) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 6,1,2.
