---|---|---|---|---|
Speed from Serifice and Wabrami who can push forward, Once A Lady and De Forza be up there. DE FORZA (3) is lightly raced and showing a heap of promise winning second-up at Grafton off a wide gate then game as favourite there last time. Should be in the finish. SPRING EAGLE (1) disappointed last time but had excuses the winner has since been Group 1 placed. Easier here and capable of showing up. OUR LIONESS (10) won well at Tamworth two starts back before a bit below par last time. Could bounce back. DEMPSEY RAE (5) and WABRAMI (14) are place chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: De Forza to win.
