Solid tempo with Vegas Raider to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. I AM BRAVE (14) was well found in betting on debut last time out over 1000m at Scone and got the job done in good style. Needs a bit of luck from the wide draw but with plenty of improvement in store she should be highly competitive. OAKFIELD BADGER (3) has been on or about the money all prep. Not much luck at Gosford last time and a top three finish at odds is not out of the question. Last start Kembla winner LET'S GO AGAIN (13) will push forward from a wide alley and can make her presence felt with even luck. LADY EXTREME (7) resumes and gets her chance to break last preps string of second places. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 14,3,13,7.
