Plenty of speed engaged with Fearless Monarch, Mercurial Lady and Betwitchery going forward ahead of Share The Stars and Too Darn Discreet. SUPERCILIOUS (2) looks better placed stepping to 1400m third up. The return run was great before being unsuited staying at 1100m last time, still finding the line well behind She's An Artist who gapped the rest. She boasts some good form at this trip and can land a bit closer from the inside gate. MERCURIAL LADY (6) won in fast time at Ballarat Synthetic first up before starting favourite here last time, looming up as the winner before being outfinished late. Like her getting to 1400m now and it wouldn't shock to see her turn the tables on XARPO (3) from that clash. That said, Xarpo was only first up winning and will only improve out to 1400m as well. Very hard to knock. ILLYIVY (4) split Mercurial Lady & Xarpo last time and has each way claims. TOO DARN DISCREET (1) has to concede these all plenty of weight but is a Group 2 winner and can't be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Supercilious.
