No recognised leader so Prince Pier could find himself in front.
PRINCE PIER (1) just ran into one better here at the latest effort and drops back slightly in trip now. Looks to be working up to a maiden victory and there's no reason why he cannot find winning ways against this lot. Former Victorian AYE VEE AITCH (2) looked handy placing at Mackay in the first run for the new yard and gun hoop Wiggins sticks in the saddle. Looms as the main danger. AMBER AFFAIR (4) is consistent without winning hitting the top-four in nine of her past ten starts and rarely puts in a poor one. A must for the multiples. OKAY ZOOMER (5) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and may earn some minor money. POWER CRUISE (3) brings NSW formlines to the table and any push in betting must be noted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Prince Pier.
