Strong tempo with Poshy's Girl and See Diamond leading the way over Encryptix. STABILITY (8) was six weeks between runs when a game third last start over 1400m here, leading for home before being claimed late. Fitter for that run and the step back to 1200m looks a good move. Sure to give backers a great sight. POSHY'S GIRL (5) has been about the mark at all three runs to date including a commendable second over 1300m at this track two runs ago. Maps beautifully from a favourable draw. Comes here in preference to an easier Taree race midweek which is a confident signal from the Lees camp. LADY OF THE CASTLE (9) has transferred to the Nathan Doyle yard and is back from a 20-week spell. Best of three runs with O'Shea/Charlton was an eye-catching second on debut over 1100m at Gosford. Trialling well and looks set to make an immediate impact. ALGORITHMIC (1) has switched from Team Hawkes to Nikki Hodgson and is back from a 24-week lay-off. Best form stacks up so keep him in mind. ENCRYPTIX (2) has impressed at both runs to date and looks ready for a step up in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stability each-way in a good maiden.
