Strong tempo assured with Juice Box, Doogan's Design and Caravanserai rolling to the front. PLEASURIZE (3) back from a lengthy break and proven at this level. Kept finding in a decent rating contest when third over 1200m at this track in this class last October. Returns without a trial and maps well. HELLUVA TEEN (9) has a good record over this course and distance and a win looks imminent. Taken to the front when nailed late to finish second over 1000m at Wagga. Will push forward and due for a change of luck. CHRISTMAS STAR (8) failed to back-up the good win here two-back with a fading second over 1000m at this track with the 58.5kg. Expected to play a leading role despite drawing out. JUICE BOX (6) tough Sale mare mixing her form. Faded badly in the straight as a dominant fav when fifth over 1100m at Stony Creek. Tricky map and assess on the win two-back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pleasurize can sprint well fresh.
