Rip Up Ruby and Cherry Rose possess good early speed and will battle for early honours. CHERRY ROSE (5) runs along and resumes off a narrow defeat here on debut. Owns a big trial win here and a top hoop sticks from that. Will be naturally improved and should take beating. THE UNDERGROUND (8) resumed at Gatton and did about what was expected. She's trialled well at Doomben since and her debut effort three back demonstrated she has the ability. STEPUPANDPLAY (6) debuts and won a recent trial here by 4.5L. Has a low barrier and expect her to race boldly. RIP UP RUBY (7) resumed at Doomben and looked in need of it. Wiggins is a key jockey booking and quick improvement is likely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cherry Rose appeals.
