Expecting Corn Cob to take up the running with Idyllic Ruler and Brazen Empress close at hand. BRAZEN EMPRESS (7) just missed last start after a good first-up win at this track. Now up to 1500m, though that won't be an issue and she maps to get all the favours once again under Fiore. Hard to knock her form this campaign and she can return to winning form. BOUSSAC (8) got a long way back last start and finished 1.4L off the winner. Drawn slightly better this time, but it wouldn't surprise to see him back in the run once again. Finished very strongly last start and can go to another level now. LOVA SESSION (2) got the job done by a lip over 1400m last time out and has been placed 2/3 third-up. Pike rides from an outside barrier in a good push for her chances and she'll be making an impression late. GRAND RESERVE (6) just missed in a blanket finish most recently and is not to be discounted. CORN COB (1) is ticking along nicely and should be in the finish as he hits peak fitness. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Brazen Empress.
