Strong tempo to be established by Heaven Rocks, Zatanna and Justa Star. MISS SLIPSTREAM (5) has come on well in her second prep with two sharp wins and she draws to get every favour again. Great chance to bring up the hat-trick. CREEK (6) tackled strong races last campaign and has plenty of depth around his form. Is a genuine threat from the good draw. SANTASIA (2) showed a neat turn of foot to score at Balaklava and while this is tougher she carries the fitness edge and stays in the mix. JUSTA STAR (1) returns from a long break and may find this a touch sharp but he has talent and with plenty of running in the legs in readiness, he has to be respected. HEAVEN ROCKS (4) only raced once last prep and won a strong form race on the main track. Jumped out twice in readiness and is among the main hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Slipstream to win again.
