Slick pace with Rikki Rikkardo finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. RIKKI RIKKARDO (11) only weakened late after setting the pace last time out in a tougher field, finishing sixth. She was an overdue maiden winner before that, and will be suited by the step up to a middle distance. She is the likely leader from her handy gate, and will take some pegging back. GILDED AGE (2) is heading the right way with his form and made up many lengths when finishing runner-up at Strathalbyn 8 days ago over a mile. The extra furlong is ideal, and he can have the last say this time. GRAND MAXIM (3) has been racing well enough since cracking his maiden status at Balaklava 3 starts back. He is likely to race handy to the pace, and another honest effort is on the cards. AMBITIOUS CREEK (1) stuck to his task gamely when finishing second at Balaklava 17 days ago. He meets an even field and will be competitive again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grand Maxim each way.
