Genuine tempo from Lugarno leading Oakfield Saturn. OAKFIELD SATURN (5) is starting to hit her straps deep into the prep and can take control early in this harder contest. Always in control as fav when she kicked clear late for a determined win over 1600m at Wyong in BM64 class. Deserves her shot in town and will prove hard to run down. TRAFALGAR SQUARE (14) win record hardly excites but racing too well to dismiss in this grade. Held up in the straight when a respectable fourth over 1500m at Rosehill. Can tag the good tempo and close off late. Each way. MISSILE SEEKER (2) rounded up similar opposition effortlessly at his second run back in this grade over 1500m at Rosehill. Has further upside and can get the job done again despite the rise in weight. PERFECT JUSTICE (6) good miler who struggled to see the 2000m out when third at Rosehill in a BM72. Winkers go on and expected to figure prominently. THE MONA LISA (10) underrated mare who can stalk the speed with race fitness on her side. Value prospect. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,14,2,6.
