Swift Force should lead at a keen tempo. Looks another nice race for the Tasmanian filly SWIFT FORCE (3) who impressed in her Melbourne debut here last start, showing blistering speed to give nothing else a hope, winning by 2.25 lengths. To 1200m now but she's won 2/3 over the trip and she might just be too quick for these again. ZUNNA (12) is a progressive mare who resumed from a spell with a narrow win at Pakenham in BM66 company. Just got over the top there but had promised plenty prior and should go on with it here. SUN SETTING (7) has been good in two runs back, flying late at Caulfield Heath fresh before battling on well behind Swift Force last time. Not sure she can bridge back 4.5 lengths but she'll be running on strongly, as will FLYER (4) who got home nicely in the G3 Proud Miss fresh in Adelaide behind an impressive winner. SUGGESTED PLAY: Swift Force to win again.
