Even tempo with Trigger Warning probably taking it up from a low draw in the absence of a genuine leader. PEACE SEEKER (8) gets the nod. She ran a strong second over 1200m at this track two runs back then was below her best last time over 1400m when seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths. Like her back in trip and with any luck from the gate she'll take beating. HAVANA MOON (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4 lengths away in third over 1200m at this track when she was handy all the way. Can roll forward and give a sight. PRAGMATIC LADY (14) started at big odds on debut last start when fifth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1000m at this track. Warrants respect now up in trip. DOUBLE DODGER (11) is a filly by Profiteer from the Jerome Hunter stable. Comes here off a Pakenham Synthetic trial placing and is worth keeping an eye on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Peace Seeker on top.
