Expecting Culpable to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. SMASHING LULU (3) resumes and scored over 1010m at Moruya to launch the last campaign. Has more scope for improvement and the local is sure to make her presence felt. ROYAL MEMORY (6) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1200m at Goulburn. Missed a whisker at Canberra prior and she's right in it. MERCHANT REIGN (5) is hard to catch but has a handy 2kg claim and he'll be around the mark bringing his A-game. WALK UP START (7) hasn't been far off the placegetters in the last two starts and draws to be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smashing Lulu appeals most.
