Expecting Ready Lightly to take up the running with Anna Chatabox and Union Delegate close at hand. SKILFUL ARTIST (2) raced on the speed from the outset last start and fought hard right to the line, just missing the bob. Peaking now and can get the job done. YOROKOBI (5) hasn't been far away lately including a last-start second over 1300m at Mackay. Extra trip a plus. Can give this a big shake. READY LIGHTLY (1) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away at Thangool. Tackles the mile for the first time but will take advantage from the low draw and could take some catching if left alone in front. ATLANTIC LACE (6) is mixing her form but has peaks that measure up. Backs up quickly and is worth including in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Skilful Artist to win.
