Strong pace from Set To Prophet, Mellencamp and Be Guided, with Hammoon Sensation and Yacht Girl on their heels. YACHT GIRL (9) three weeks between runs when snagged back from the wide gate to close late with an encouraging fifth over 1450m at Muswellbrook. Earlier runs had merit and gets her chance with the key jockey change. OLYMPIAN (4) nice gelding who rounded them up with ease at his second race start with a slick Maiden win over 1280m at Muswellbrook. Bred to get this trip and further with map favours here. Go close. SMART LILY (11) played up before the start and failed to get into the contest with a poor eighth over 1400m at this track. Fitter now and earlier runs had merit. Improver. BE GUIDED (7) progressive mare who crossed from an outside draw at her second run back with a game Maiden victory over 1300m at Dubbo. Poorly drawn again and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yacht Girl and Olympian shapes the two leading chances.
