Reasonable tempo with Smelter probably leading but a few others should keep him honest.
MAD ANA (10) put in a career-best performance when a handy second at the Gold Coast and looks to be improving with racing. Will be rock-hard fit for this and should be right there when the whips are cracking. BOLERO (8) has placed four of her past five outings and gets in well at the weights with the 2kg claim. Rates a serious contender. STATE OF AFFAIRS (7) hails from the astute Waller yard and this is not an overly strong affair. Keep safe. The well-related SPACE JOURNEY (4) (half to 2xG3 winner and 4xG1 placed The Astrologist) has placed over this course and distance and may earn some minor money again. ARTSPACE (1) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mad Ana to shed the maiden tag.
