Moderate tempo expected with Nouveau Marche likely to find the front over Love To Lie and Qatar. LOVE TO LIE (11) did well last time to finish fourth over 1100m at Clare after she gave away a big start. The extra journey should play into her hands. Can get the job done on the quick turnaround. SPICY AMBITION (9) is a first-starter by Ambidexter for the Margo camp. Has come along nicely in readiness, in the placings at most recent Morphettville Parks trial. With blinkers applied looks set for a bold run. IT'S A SOLID DEEL (2) has certainly found it tough to break through but does boast peaks that can measure up strongly in this. Draws well and is worth keeping onside. QATAR (7) will find this a little easier after missing the frame in town last time, finishing fifth over 1900m at Oakbank. The sharp drop in trip is a query though. Keeping safe for a minor spot. TOAST FOR BECKY (10) is a likely improver second-up that is worth a watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Love To Lie to win.
