Expecting Hand In Hand to lead Starvecchio at just a moderate tempo. PERLE DE CHOCOLAT (5) returns from a four-month spell and lines up for the first time under the care of Kristie Clark-Peoples who has implemented a long list of gear changes. Best NSW form reads well in this company. No trial form to assist but on face value she looks the goods. AMOSU (2) is back from a 37-week spell. Raced just once last prep and failed to beat one home at Eagle Farm as $2.70 favourite. Talented when right - must come under notice if there is any positive market move. French import HAND IN HAND (1) was thoroughly outclassed when first-up in a rich race here 22 days ago. In the money at her other five race starts abroad - well equipped to bounce back to form. SPIES ON (4) was out of her depth when resuming here last start. Won by five second-up last prep so she can turn things around. SUGGESTED PLAY: Perle De Chocolat to score first-up.
