Reasonable tempo with Cassette probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. VILLA ROYALE (11) was placed in 11 of his 17 starts in Victoria and resumes from a spell that would have done her the world of good. She comes to hand quickly, and the leading Gary Clarke stable normally gets quick results with similar imports. GO BARNEY GO (2) got back from a wide gate here 5 weeks ago and never got warm. He cops another tough draw, but with the right run, he is good enough to figure in the top 3. JUELENE (7) was fifth as favourite in her first local start. She will naturally improve second up, and is worth including in all combinations, so follow your money. CEE PEE ONE (1) resumed from a spell and finished third here last week. That was his first run since returning from Hong Kong, and with the blinkers on, he will be hard to hold out. SUGGESTED PLAY: A very even field with many chances. Cee Pee One can be a quick improver. Each way.
