Love To Lie has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. DISCREETLY BLUE (3) got things back on track third-up when beaten narrowly at Balaklava. Will likely drift back from the draw but looks to have a slight edge on these and can round them up. BOOLCUNDA DAWN (11) was well supported fresh when missing by a lip at Kingscote. Followed it up with a solid chasing effort at Murray Bridge. Peaking now and is the obvious main danger. LOVE TO LIE (13) loomed up on debut but just lacked a fitness edge late. Better for that and is drawn favourably. Expect her to be in this for a long way. ALL TOO TRUE (1) was good two back when missing by a head at Mt Gambier. Less effective third-up but has since been freshened with 35 days and drops back in trip. Don't underestimate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Discreetly Blue.
