A solid tempo is anticipated with Brass Band and Aerial Artist kicking up to hold out the next wave. LONG LIVE THE CAT (9) stepped out on her debut over 1200m at Gold Coast two weeks ago and finished ninth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. BABUSHKA DOLL (6) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish 11th at her latest appearance over 1200m at Gold Coast. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. AERIAL ARTIST (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1015m at Ballina, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Strips fitter and can make amends. SAJJETTI (5) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1115m at Grafton, beaten 12 lengths into tenth. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. EGYPTIAN LASS (7) has slim place claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,6,1,5.
