Solid tempo likely from Justique and Venetian Choice. JUSTIQUE (1) made waves on debut at Geelong with a dominant display over this trip, showing speed and coming right away to score by 3.5 lengths. Straight to what is a strong metro BM64 but she looks more than capable of measuring up. JEWEL OF HEAVEN (7) was a very smart winner first up at Cranbourne when backed into $1.85, bolting in by 2.75 lengths. She should relish the extra ground now and can go on with it. CARRIEDO (6) broke through for a smart maiden win last time, supported into $1.60 at Geelong and doing it well late. She maps nicely and can be charging at them late. VENETIAN CHOICE (3) resumes having gone to the paddock a smart winner at Geelong, respecting fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Justique to win.
